Nah, not this time. It was done by Dmitry Lenev in 2003 on his second month in MySQL AB. You can as well ask me or Bar :) (MySQL AB back then was probably smaller than MariaDB Corporation now, and everyone knew what everyone else is doing, so we should know) And as far as I an concerned, I'm pretty sure it was implemented that way unintentionally.
