I think this is a good thing. I have been using MariaDB for several months now on my laptop and on my server and it works great in both places.

MariaDB in Oracle Linux?

I really look forward to seeing how this plays out. If MariaDB makes its way into Redhat Oracle may be eventually forced into replacing there own product in Oracle linux if they are to continue to claim compatiblity with Redhat.

Don't give up yet, if they piss off too many devs an OpenJDK fork could still happen!
