The vote on FSIP-9 entails the idea that /someone/ should make efforts

another good moment of focus.
"With this proposal we will make an effort but *we are not
committing*to migration guides, scripts, tests, tools, wizards,
and case studies easing database migrations. The community is
strongly encouraged to *gather real-world data*, to share and
discuss this proposal with all users, encouraging them to create
or sponsor creation of these critically important migration
materials."
As with all things on this open source project, if there is interest
in doing it, it can occur.
First up is "Gather real world data". How many entities require this
migration work? Can we get at least two good examples? More?
I suspect that any organization still using mySQL or MariaDB is on a
very old fork of the project and has no interest in upgrading to the
latest releases. If that is wrong, someone should provide data to
support that. They have not spoken up specifically. We must hear
from them.
For scripts and guides to have meaning, they need users.
