Is there a time line for MariaDB to break away from using MySQL for things like its default port, directory names, suggested user name, lock directory, names of support programs, etc ?
I know most things can be set in ./configure or in the .cnf file but isn't it time
to make the move ?
Answer
It is important to keep same defaults as MySQL, as it allows a MySQL user to simply replace MySQL with MariaDB and have everything work the way it used to do.
