I completely agree.
However, that's a bit more complicated, because we want mysql to become a
virtual package then, so any package that currently uses mysql can also use
mariadb. And, since there are quite a few packages out there that select mysql,
it would have to use an approach like libjpeg/jpeg-turbo to handle it.
The good news is: in a first step, you can add mariadb as a new package without
bothering with the virtual package.
Note that Sylvain Raybaud did that already, I'm not sure why his patches are no
longer on patchwork.
Regards,
Arnout
