'Twas brillig, and Maarten Vanraes at 13/04/12 07:28 did gyre and gimble:
after talking with mariadb people and some others, i'm proposing to update
mysql 5.5.10 to mariadb-5.5.23 in mga1.
I would be pretty strongly against this.
I think it's fine we're using mariadb in mga2, but I really don't fancy
making this switch on a stable distro.
It just seems like a really, really bad idea. Not necessarily
technically, but in pretty much all other aspects - you have to consider
how this would be viewed as well - changing something like this for a
stable distro puts a big question mark over future stability and updates
etc. too.
Same for me.
Basically, you're proposing to break the assumption than current policy
ensures end user than a package update from 'updates' repository for
package 'foo' is just a bugfix for 'foo' package. You may have perfectly
valid technical reasons, but you're *silently* changing the rule upon
which people may have established their own policies, which is a very,
very bad idea.
