Should URI::mysql Switch to DBD::MariaDB?
Should Sqitch and URI::mysql use DBD::MariaDB instead of DBD::mysql? If so, what are the implications for Sqitch deployment and usage?❖ Just a Theory

in reply to David Wheeler • • •If a newer DBD::MariaDB build will connect to older and newer MySQL DBs as well as to MariaDBs, using the FLOSSier dependency would be a good thing on principle as well as to allow receiving current patches.
(Some would call the latter pragmatic, but from a Security PoV, that's also a Principle.)
(If not, might need choice of both? eww.)
