We've been following the discussions to replace MySQL with
MariaDB
...
/me speaking from my experience.
I don't maintain MySQL, but various other mysql packages
(mysql-utilities, mysql-connector-python, mysql-workbench, ...).
Maintaining Oracle stuff in Fedora becomes a nightmare.
Every new release introduce new issues, mostly because there is a lack
of communication (upstream and downstream)
From my POV, Oracle simply don't care.
I think Oracle have choose the bad way, with OpenSource projects, and
I'm really happy to see a community response (various forks and switch
to MariaDB ,for various distro).
I simply hope that MariaDB will not stay in sync with original MySQL and
will get enough resources to become a real project (but I think they are
on the road).
Remi.
