12 Yeah, sounds like the I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING thing which you end up

15 But thank you Pacho. This is indeed a good suggestion and we will have a
16 look how we can improve (there is also some work happening upstream:
17 dev-db/mysql-8+ for example removed mysql_upgrade command and will take
18 care of everything by itself and prevent startup when it detects a
19 downgrade and there is some discussion for such a feature for 10.7
20 (probably too late) or 10.8).
