[$] MySQL and MariaDB changes coming in Fedora 40

The Fedora Project switched
to MariaDB as the default implementation of MySQL in Fedora 19 in 2013. Once a drop-in
replacement for MySQL, MariaDB has diverged enough that this is no longer
the case—and, 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 Fedora 40.
