Personally I think the users should have the flexibility to choose. Having a policy on how such packages can coexist could then allow other options to also be added cleanly (MySQL Cluster, Percona, Galera etc). That's not to say the recommended one can't switch to MariaDB, if the community decides that's the way to go. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
