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.

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!
