OK; upstream support lifetimes are OK for this so should be ok.

we really have two 'forks' right now:

	mysql-5.5 (default mysql - provides libmysqlclient-dev which the rest
of the archive builds against)
	mariadb-5.5

and one derivative:

	percona-xtradb-cluster-5.5

which is percona-server-5.5 (not in Debian) built with galera
replication extensions - its mysql compatible but quite distinct
product from mysql-5.5 or mariadb-5.5.

I would maintain that mysql-5.5 has to stay in release this late in
cycle, switching to mariadb-5.5 would mean a full transition, and that
percona-xtradb-cluster-5.5 is a sufficiently distinct product to
remain in for release as well.

So that really just leaves mariadb-5.5 (or mariadb-10 - I know Otto
has been busy working on this) up for debate;  my take is still that
if there is sufficient resource maintaining mariadb-5.5 (which I think
there is - thanks to Otto), or any other fork, that it should still be
considered for release.

Thoughts?

Cheers

James
