So what? Mozilla happens to like/need the optimized subqueries. That's 
one moving to MySQL (until MariaDB catches up) versus many moving away 
from MySQL.

Yes and kernel 3.11 is probably faster than kernel 2.6.18. What's your 
point?

Show proof that MariaDB claims code developed by others as their own.

Where's your proof? And even if so do you really think this will be the 
case for much longer with the move to MariaDB by pretty much every major 
distro on the planet?

(is there something wrong with your period key? It seems to get stuck a lot)

You sure seem aggravated by the Community's decision to move to MariaDB.

So is your email.

That fine list of 10 bugs really shows that Oracle has the Community's 
best interest at heart. Meanwhile on planet earth it was reported that 
Oracle has switched MySQL to their internal help desk system. Please do 
show us how the Community can access that help desk system to stay in 
sync with every reported MySQL bug.

 From your messages on Oracle related subjects on this list one can 
easily deduct that you have a thing for Oracle. If Oracle is your pink 
unicorn be my guest. But please refrain from sending rather bitter 
sounding FUD to this list when things don't go so well for your precious 
Oracle. Oracle's role in the F/OSS Community is declining. With the move 
away from MySQL and that BerkeleyDB re-licensing stunt their stuff will 
become increasingly irrelevant. There is nothing you can do about that 
except maybe accept it and move on with your life.

Ok, I'll stop here too then.
