On Friday (October 25) I sent an e-mail directly to the ftpmasters
asking for the disposition of the MariaDB packaging. I have not
heard back yet, but I will continue to work this issue.

Excellent.. what is your nick on OFTC?

I'm not on OFTC but I can be if that would help.

I'd like to test this on one of our dev servers as a drop in replacement
for MySQL. The goal is to replace MySQL without requiring our developers
to modify any applications.

Providing 10.0 is also compatible with MySQL and wouldn't require any
apps to be updated I'm sure we could consider it. I would have
difficulty getting developer resources to modify existing apps though.
