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?

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
