Hacker News Reader

I doubt it. Their forum seems pretty dead, Elasticsearch has the known name, etc etc. Seems a bit like MariaDb/Mysql where Mysql are still the default choice for most companies (over MariaDb).

I know some people on hackernews etc are upset with the decisions of Elastic. Suspect most people couldn't care less, even if they are even aware.

[citation needed]. Some Linux distros (notably Debian, Fedora, Arch) only have MariaDB in their repos and will push you towards it, even if you try to ask for MySQL.

CentOS even just installs MariaDB when you `yum install MySQL`
