How many years into the future is it reasonable to

know that MariaDB claims to be drop in compatible with MySQL, but the list
of variances seems to be slowly growing. References...

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!

Mediawiki usually doesnt use new exotic db features. I would be shocked if
we dropped support for mysql at any point in the forseeable future unless
mysql becomes totally abandoned.
