Identifying a mariadb / mysql server recommendation is documented in the same document : https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb-protocol-differences-with-mysql/#identifyi... and about being constructive, you can se another reason of using prepared statement with matadata skipping (https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb-protocol-differences-with-mysql/#prepare-s...). This is interesting for second execution: metadata are then only send any when if they have changed.
