Can you quantify this? I mean, did anyone actually ask upstream what their support commitment is going to be?

However, newer is always newer, so shipping MariaDB 10.0 would be nice
if we have time to finalize it after it comes out from the NEW queue..


I agree.

10.0 left NEW on 26th August. Since then, it hasn't been uploaded to unstable, though I do see a version on mentors from yesterday.

It has the following problems:

 - lintian error build-depends-on-obsolete-package
 - rewrites changelog history

It's past the end of transitions for Jessie. Does moving from MariaDB 5.5 to 10.0 in Jessie have any transition implications? There's at least one symbol that goes away completely.
