Yeah, I know. Let's see what comes out of this. I found this along the
way: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=753543

I don't know much about the "Alternatives" ... need to read a bit about it.

Anyway, I'd like to start from the bottom. Then, there're the tons of
patches done to mysql; which I think we should drop for now and apply
only if utterly necessary.
