Why?
I must say i had a big trouble upgrading mysql last time i ran
aptitude safe-upgrade; it just wouldn't upgrade since it couldn't
shutdown the server (it wasn't even running anymore). I managed to
recover after backing up the databases and completely purging
everything mysql*. I blamed this on not upgrading a stable for (too)
long, but i still find it - very - annoying this happened on stable.
I'm glad none of my critical stuff was actually using the DBs.
Still this is either something i did or something in the upgrade
process, not exactly mysql's fault.
There's mariadb but that's a binary replacement for mysql because of
concerns over Oracle acquisition.
Search engines will provide a whole lot of options for alternatives.
