Only thought there is that would erase the "Drop in Replacement" selling point for mariadb/mysql (see: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/mariadb-vs-mysql-compatibility/). >From a practical standpoint, as long as the package dependencies in all PKGBUILDs needing the new package were updated, it's not a bad way to go, if there is objection to simply building and including both in the libmariadb package. -- David C.
