It can (not client), but there's no need imho; mariadb is actually no more than the patched mysql because those patches are rejected by oracle (think Google patches and facebook patches as an example) + extra storage engines. if you really want to, the unpatches original (same as mysql) storage engines are available for mariadb as well: - innodb (unpatched; xtradb is the patched one) - myisam - federated etc... if we test mariadb, and you see no differences, why not drop it? do you agree?
