Hi all, |

I just came across this thread today on the MariaDB discuss list about |
| 4 |
the poor stewardship of Oracle with respect to MySQL (and it references |
| 5 |
Oracle's track record of poor handling of the FLOSS projects it |
| 6 |
inherited when it bought Sun): |

In it is discussed - among many other things including lots of good |
| 11 |
reason *why* - the possibility of replacing MySQL with MariaDB in |
| 12 |
anticipation of Oracle's current poor stewardship of MySQL... |

My question is - shouldn't gentoo be considering this move as well? |
| 15 |

I've been seriously considering this for my own servers for some time, |
| 18 |
and after reading this, I think it is time to stop thinking about it and |
| 19 |
just do it, but I'm a bit nervous - ianap, and don't want to shoot |
| 20 |
myself in the foot in the process. |

Anyone here ever done the switch want to share their experience? |
