Comment (by RicaNeaga):

 I'm a little discouraged by the potential issues that may pop up after
 mysqli is implemented, if I would be a MariaDB early adopter. I am a
 little tech-savvy, but I don't want to spend time fixing problems of my
 own doing.

 Sorry for the little offtopic, hope the development on this will restart
 soon, but please think about this, there are many non-tech-savvy users out
 there that want a replacement for MySQL NOW, but cannot act in this
 manner, since the requirements page only mention MySQL.
