Victor,
We were not participating in the vote. We are happy to leave the vote
to the community.
Rather, we were responding to James' comment on this same channel that
".../now is another good moment of focus/..." and ".../encouraging them
to create *_or sponsor creation_* of these critically important
migration materials..."/
We noted that we would be happy to help sponsor.
Thanks,
Campbell

Hi James,
We have around 40 MFIs running on MariaDB and it would be an
absolute necessity that we have migration scripts to facilitate
this new move to Postgres. Without it they would be stuck on the
old fork.

We'll help sponsor that.

The vote on FSIP-9 entails the idea that /someone/ should make
efforts to build migration scripts. As that vote ends in 48
hrs, now is 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.
