 Thank you for bringing this to attention! It's important to keep an eye on
 deprecation notices, especially when they affect widely-used tools like
 MySQL in conjunction with WordPress. The recent notice regarding the
 deprecation of SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS in MySQL 8.0.17 is particularly
 noteworthy, as it has significant implications for the WordPress
 ecosystem.

 The deprecation of SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS underscores the need for proactive
 monitoring of changes in essential components of the WordPress
 infrastructure. Such notices serve as early indicators of potential
 compatibility issues that may arise with newer versions of MySQL,
 highlighting the importance of staying abreast of developments in the
 technology landscape.

 SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS plays a vital role within WordPress core, particularly
 in pagination scenarios where accurate row counting is essential for
 navigating content efficiently. Its deprecation necessitates careful
 consideration and action to ensure that affected queries are updated to
 maintain compatibility with MySQL 8.0.17 and beyond.

 Failing to address the deprecation of SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS promptly could
 lead to compatibility conflicts with newer MySQL versions, potentially
 resulting in performance degradation and compromised user experience.
 Therefore, it is crucial for developers to prioritize updating affected
 queries within WordPress core to mitigate these risks.

 The WordPress development community plays a critical role in addressing
 deprecation notices and ensuring the continued stability and functionality
 of the platform. By collaborating and sharing insights, developers can
 collectively identify and resolve compatibility issues, maintaining
 WordPress's reputation as a reliable and robust content management system.

 Raising awareness of the deprecation of SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS within the
 WordPress community is essential to facilitate collaborative efforts in
 resolving this issue. Through open communication and shared knowledge,
 developers can work together to implement solutions that address the
 deprecation notice effectively.

 In conclusion, while the deprecation of SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS presents a
 challenge for WordPress developers, it also underscores the resilience and
 adaptability of the WordPress ecosystem. By remaining proactive and
 collaborative, the community can navigate through such challenges and
 continue to innovate and improve the WordPress platform for users
 worldwide.
