When is the switch planned to MariaDB?
https://mariadb.org/
Thanks

A possible reason to switch to MariaDB could be the Licensing terms. It is known that MySQL AB acquired by Sun Microsystems on early 2008 for $1bn. Sun acquired by Oracle on April 2009. MySQL Enterprise is a commercial product, but MySQL community edition is still available under the GPL license. However, nobody can be certain for the future licensing policy.

There are no barriers to adoption.

No barrier to entry and it helps the planet. [That is the Open Source EcoSystem, of which we are a part.]
