sorry, but when you can't distinct between Fedora and RHEL any
discussion is worthless - RHEL don't ship MySQL but you pretended
"because of license issues" which is not true

What I'm saying is exactly reported in the link you gave:
no you pretended "RHEL doesn't ship MySQL as default anymore just
because of licensing issues"
"The original company behind MySQL, MySQL AB, were bought out by Sun
which was then bought by Oracle. Recent changes made by Oracle indicate
they are moving the MySQL project to be more closed. They are no longer
publishing any useful information about security issues (CVEs), and they
are not providing complete regression tests any more, and a very large
fraction of the mysql bug database is now not public.
MariaDB, which was founded by some of the original MySQL developers, has
a more open-source attitude and an active community. We have found them
to be much easier to work with, especially in regards to security matters."
Read it differently: a few years ago a lot of FUD was spread abut MySQL
going closed, but that didn't happen.
but the issues above still existst
The only nonsense here is your statement:
/"BUT looking that RHEL no longer ships oracle MySQl and most other
distributions switched to MariaDB as well as big players like Wikipedia
Oracle MySQL is dead - period"/
Actually, as you said a few minutes later, RHEL ships Oracle MySQL as
"community-mysql", as do FreeBSD, and any other distribution.
RHEL *does not* ship MySQL
you need to realize that RHEL != Fedora
fact is most Linux distributions ship MySQL any longer as default
Oracle MySQL is not dead at all, and was actually faster than MariaDB (
https://mariadb.org/maria-10-1-mysql-5-7-commodity-hardware/ )
previously and it's actually probably faster now as MySQL 8 is faster
than MySQL 5.7 (
http://dimitrik.free.fr/blog/archives/2017/10/mysql-performance-21m-qps-on-80rc.html ).
may i suggest that you inform yourself somehow about MariaDB, what get
backported, what version of InnoDB it uses and so on as you said "I
never used MariaDB" while MariaDB users don't say the same about Oracle
MySQL - comparing MariaDB 10.1 with MySQL 5.7 is nonsense because 10.1
used a older XtraDB generation while 10.2 is at MySQL 5.7 level

BTW, relax, none of this is gonna change our life - we're just talking.
Use whatever you prefer, for the reason you like
i don't care much but you are talking about "supported software"
