Slightly off topic but changes in sql_mode has the potential to cause problems with major version changes and incompatible behaviour. So combining all sorts of new settings into this variable does not seem like a good idea to me. It’s already rather complex. Note: don’t just think of how the server behaves with this change but also think of replication. Downstream slaves may not be running the same (major or minor) version of MariaDB (or MySQL) and sql_mode is fed into the binlog stream so will be interpreted by the SQL thread(s) of the downstream slaves too. Consequently behavioural changes like this by adding new values may not be as simple as you expect. I’d be much more comfortable using a new global variable which defines this behaviour, though that _may_ require the setting being propagated via the binlog stream if setting the value globally on the downstream slave is not good enough. Just a thought.
