This is good news. It will allow me to drop MariaDB, only used for a few low traffic websites I manage, making my things more robust, more lightweight and easier to maintain.

I don't care for managing ports / sockets, migrating configurations, doing the creating database (careful not to use the not-really-utf-8 charset), user and granting privileges dance. Overkill for my use case.

Backups will also be easier: a simple rsync call will do, no need to call the specific mysql backup command anymore (of course it's automated but that's one less thing that can fail, less moving parts)

I bet we are many people in this case.
