It would nice for MariaDB to obsolete MySQL and have an emulation

to talk/depend directly with native MariaDB. This will also provide
compatability for systems that want to do both.
This is already how MariaDB works. Testing will consist of making sure
it in fact _succeeds_ in acting as a drop-in replacement in all
real-world tested cases.
Not to sound mean, but could people please at least read up on the
feature page before contributing to this thread? There's a lot of
noise...
