Hello, I think there is a small misunderstanding about what I committed. You have a fully valid point, which has been discussed briefly in the ticket, but users will not be forced to change database at this stage with this commit. While the new default variant is mariadb (so that new installs will go with it), users with an existing port with the +mysql5 variant are upgraded with the mysql51 variant, which implies that the database stays the same.
