9 Not sure if this is needed as mariadb was never stable before.
10 I would expect most people using it were updating as the ~arch
11 versions progressed.

17 This doesn't seem appropriate for an update news. Maybe more for the
18 Gentoo Monthly Newsletter. If dev-db/mysql is upgraded, they won't

21 While you can do some swap back initially, once you start using unique
22 features, it is hard to swap. This will be even more true in 5.6/10.0
23 with GTID replication which is not compatible. (Must be enabled by the
24 admin by hand, not automatic.)
