'Twas brillig, and Maarten Vanraes at 13/04/12 07:28 did gyre and gimble:

+
+I would be pretty strongly against this.
+
+I think it's fine we're using mariadb in mga2, but I really don't fancy
+making this switch on a stable distro.
+
+It just seems like a really, really bad idea. Not necessarily
+technically, but in pretty much all other aspects - you have to consider
+how this would be viewed as well - changing something like this for a
+stable distro puts a big question mark over future stability and updates
+etc. too.
+
+If you are not able to work on the CVE issue for mga1 because you're
+unable to test properly a mysql fix, then please let someone else do it.
+I'm sure we all understand why you'd rather push mariadb and why you
+maybe wouldn't want to work on mysql. That's fine, we won't hold it
+against you :D
