I'm not sure why bundling PCRE with some our fixes should be confusing. We bundle many libraries with our own fixes. Before the 10.0.5 release we've bundled the Henry Spenser's regex library with our own modifications for many many years. No one was ever confused about that :) So why do you think it's confusing?
it violates the concept of shared libraries and is *highly* disapproved by most Linux distributions like Fedora which are doing a hard work downstream to unbundle all this stuff which wastes a lot of energy all over the world

Thanks for the link. I have added it into the task description: https://mariadb.atlassian.net/browse/MDEV-5304 For now, we have to wait for PCRE-8.34 release anyway. Adding an option to compile against the external PCRE-8.33 is not a good idea: any MariaDB user that have a valid user and password would be able to crash the server by sending a dangerous pattern to RLIKE. We can't do that.
