    [$] MySQL and MariaDB changes coming in Fedora 40

    Description:
    The Fedora Project switched
    to MariaDB as the default implementation of MySQL in Fedora19 in 2013 . Once
    a drop-in
    replacement for MySQL, MariaDB has diverged enough that this is no longer
    the caseand, despite concerns about Oracle
    and optimism that MariaDB would supplant MySQL, the reality is that MySQL
    and MariaDB seem to be here to stay. With that in mind, Fedora developer
    Michal Schorm proposed that the project revise the way MySQL and MariaDB
    are packaged in Fedora starting with Fedora40.
