[debian-mysql] MySQL medium/long term roadmap

[Francesco P. Lovergine]

Hi mysql maints

I'm sorry to bother you with what is probably Just Another Silly Question, but
I'm quite worried about the medium (if not long) term doom of MySQL in
Debian. 

As you surely know, since Oracle acquisition, MySQL future has
become more foggy than before. We have currently both Drizzle and
MySQL/Community 5.1 installed. The MariaDB/OurDelta fork is a possible
candidate (already with a RFP filled #565308) for a future
almost-compatible community edition. There are currently more forks
around than users probably...

Is there any currently defined roadmap about the current package? 
Any current great idea? I know that we live uncertaint times, but
having some common/shared intents could help. Something like:

- we will support 5.1 until its death.
- we will support 5.? in the next future
- you are on your own
- we will move to OurDelta in the next future
- we will move to xxx
- install postgresql and forget My*
...

cheers
