Hi, Kristian,
This was done to improve coexistence with MySQL. As MariaDB drifts farther from MySQL, there might be more and more users who could want to install them side by side, so it's important to reduce conflicts on file names.
Would it be thinkable for the mariadb packages to recommend or suggest a separate compatibility package that would install symbolic links to provide MySQL compatible program names? In that way, no deprecation messages would seem to be necessary at runtime. Marko -- Marko Mäkelä, Lead Developer InnoDB MariaDB plc
