Just to be clear, RHEL != Fedora. Red Hat policy for RHEL kernel is
not acceptable to Fedora and Fedora kernel
continues to have the patches split out. You cannot use that to defend MySQL policies
here. You can do whatever
you want to do for the MySQL "enterprise edition" which is a commercial product
but the community project should
have transparency and openness in how it handles bugs, security issues, test cases etc.
If you are willing to
commit to that, that is a step forward.
this is all nice and fine
but keep in mind that Fedora is the base for RHEL
applications may be certified for mysql
and yes you are unsopported to run them at all on Fedora
but run them additionally on a fork of mysql which maybe
more and more incompatible over the years you are out of
hope and have not anything from the subjective freedom
if there is no way to have both, mysqld AND mariadb Fedora
should do itself a favour and keep mysqld, not for now -
forever or as long not most other software supports mariadb
explicitly which is not the case now
has mysqld any technical problem which makes it unstable?
no it has not!
is mariadb supported from any software which does not for mysqld?
not it does not!
is mysqld opensource?
yes it is!
did we had enough subsystem changes the last few years?
yes - we had way too much for the time-window!
