I hope someone explained to Ayushman about top-posting and probably mailing list etiquette, lol, Dora was very nice to me and explained everything.

IIRC Bob said its free version wasn't properly supported, and its manual is proprietary. Meanwhile, you can use MariaDB.
The nonfree manual...is probably a result of the acquisition of MySQL by Oracle. IMHO Oracle shits on everything it touches.
Anyway...it's not "we may stop supporting MySQL", because MySQL is already unsupported as the status quo is. MariaDB is so great. I love it.
Speaking of compatibility, it's not clear what Savane's policy is: I also mentioned it in the email I sent to savannah-hackers-private. PHP 5.4 was first released in 2012, and even PHP 7.4 was decleared EOL in 2022. Is there a reason that Savane has to maintain its backward compatibility with ancient software?
If Savane's maintainers don't mind maintaining ancient software, that's fine too; if we want to clearly define a scope, this would be an example: "everything included in Trisquel 9 or Debian 10". Another thing to consider is Savane's downstream, and currently the only publicly known downstream (?) is Puszcza's fork, which uses the 3.1 cleaned up version. Btw, Puszcza introduced git homepage support a few years ago.
