+yes, i'll do so, problem is that i didn't get any testing, so i need to put it 
+into core/release to get more testing.
+
+if mariadb doesn't work, we can easily switch back by just rebuilding mysql 
+and dropping mariadb for that moment.
+
+also, i tested with amarok among others, without a problem
+
+This is the up-coming 5.5 branch, which my plan is to keep testing as we go 
+along to mga2
+
+I also have good contacts with upstream about this.
+
+i'll send a new thread on this, but it's not a final decision, it's nothing 
+more than just a way to get more testing so we can decide to opt-out or not.
