This is really more for the heavy users to answer, but I haven't seen any indication that MariaDB wouldn't be an LTS worthy replacement. It has the majority of former MySQL core developers, corporate backing and indeed an open development process. Essentially it could be possible to say that it's more "the new MySQL" than LibreOffice is "the new OpenOffice.org"? (given Apache/IBM backing for the old OOo, but well at the same time ignoring that while Oracle has given up on OOo, it's doing something with MySQL still). Anyway, the pros sounds like outweighing cons, especially given the problems in security support et cetera with MySQL. But I hope you'll have a consensus within the Debian/Ubuntu maintainers. For Ubuntu check up the possible memo notes from past UDSes since this is not like it'd be a completely new topic. -Timo -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
