Me too. My opinion is that trying to "soften" the message is much worse that being very straightforward. We should be more curagous sometimes to say "We do not do that" rahter thatn "Well, maybe that we wll do but not entirely". For me - merging that change and removing the tests but bluntly saying "we do not support MariaDB" is FAR better than saying "we do best effort to support MariaDB". We don't. It does not work. some people did some changes to make it work, Maybe ut does for some people , but we do not - as a community support it at all. Just it - transparent, open communication and properly setting the expectations of people who are receiving the mesage. By saying 'best effort" we go into the "blurry" zone - where our expectation is that Maria DB does not work, but the user expectation who happens to know Maria DB is that it works. This is a wrong place to be in where expectations are so different on both sides. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
