Given that things are only ever going to move forward with my/maria-sql
would it not be better to enable this by default, and have a "disable"
setting for those who want to run something of antiques?
Because in years to come there will only ever be the modern versions and
you;ll have to change default behaviour then anyway, but since that time
is mostly here now, it makes more sense to enable it by default.
