Comment (by RicaNeaga):
I really hoped this would have been included and fixed in WP 3.8, either
via mysqli or either PDO. Now [http://www.zdnet.com/red-hat-enterprise-
linux-7-beta-arrives-with-mariadb-as-its-default-database-7000024194/ RHEL
7] is just inches from its stable launch (followed soon by its CentOS more
popular alternative), with MariaDB coming as the default database.
After [http://spblog.parallels.com/serviceprovider/2013/9/17/welcome-move-
from-google-to-mariadb/ Plesk], also Cpanel has full support for MariaDB
[http://features.cpanel.net/responses/as-a-server-administrator-i-want-
mariadb-support-so-that-i-can-accomodate-both-innodb-and-noninnodb-users/
planned], so everybody has (or will soon have) OFFICIAL alternatives to
MySQL, that are easy to implement (MariaDB is considered by everybody a
drop-in replacement for MySQL).
In this context, when almost everybody is running away from MySQL, is 2014
the year when wordpress will fully support MariaDB (with a mention of this
in its [http://wordpress.org/about/requirements/ requirements] page,
that's very important for non-tech-savvy-users / late adopters) via mysqli
(or PDO)? I mean, I see it's not even considered ''worthy'' for 3.9... :(
