This seems a bit more pressing now: 2.0.7 broke MariaDB compatibility. 

https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/29544

I'm sure that can be fixed. But we're in a tricky position now. 

Claude has marked the ticket as a Release Blocker, which is understandable, 
but I can't see how we can 
both support and not-support MariaDB, especially when we don't have test 
coverage on CI to support it. 

Adam, you came to mind immediately when I saw the ticket here, since you've 
talked about this. 
(So I'm glad you're already on this thread.) 

Where are we on MariaDB support? What timescale can we add it (if at all)? 
What can we realistically do in the interim? 

v2.2 is scheduled for the end of 2018. That's the earliest we can get it in 
now. 
What's a realistic workflow if we're going to consider MariaDB breaking 
changes as out of bounds before then? 

Thanks for the input all! 

C.
