If this library solves real bugs and provides Python 3 compatibility, I think 
it's worth to replace MySQL-python with this new library. Linux distro can 
package it, they can probably copy the packaging of MySQL-Python since it's a 
fork.

Note: mysqlclient-python conflicts with MySQL-Python, both libraries use the 
same "MySQLdb" Python module. The good news is that mysqlclient-python is a 
drop-in library for MySQL-Python: no need to change any line of code, only 
modify requirements.

@Naoki: Did you try to contact MySQL-Python authors to take over their project 
instead of forking?
