Also I'd even prefer hickups/issues found during this testing (or expected - of course not data loss) as a better thing than shipping hard to maintain mysql - security issues, bugfixes. Not saying that current mysql guys will completely drop mysql support but due to how upstream behaves to mysql + resources put to have a good support for mariadb...
