to fullfill them really it would need a alias in the
one or other direction - most people will type
"systemctl start mysqld.service" and have a big
WTF if they need to seacrh the web

besides real compatibility and transition of data
one of the reasons why in my opinion it is pretty
dumb to hurry this for F10 instead take a breath
and come up with a well planned fianl decision in
F20, mysql 5.5 is maintained uptream for a long time
and nobody will eat it away
