How many years into the future is it reasonable to expect that MySQL will remain a recommended database server for "production use" along with MariaDB now that the Foundation has switched to using MariaDB internally? I know that MariaDB claims to be drop in compatible with MySQL, but the list of variances seems to be slowly growing. References... * Compatibility - [[mw:Compatibility]] * MariaDB support? - [[mw:Topic:R1hqki3kaytylml4]] * https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/mariadb-vs-mysql-compatibility/
Other than [[mw:Compatibility]] on mediawiki.org is there anywhere else (wiki pages, Phabricator tasks/tags, etc.) that I should check for technical roadmap information before emailing wikitech-l?
Thank you! Michael
