Hi guys, there are apparently some tools out there [1], that check if the server is up quite often, while not closing the connection properly. It eventually ends in 'many connection errors', because max_connect_errors is always limited now. I understand that this way of checking may be wrong, but there may be scenarios where we do not want to check for `max_connect_errors` at all. So, would it be acceptable for mariadb to change behaviour of max_connect_errors option, so that it accepts also 0 as a possible value, which would mean 'do not check connect errors at all'? I'm bringing the idea here first, but will submit a report and possibly patch if it does not seem to be undesired behaviour.
