the main question is why is MySQL/MariaDB implemented in a way that mysqld responds with status code *before* it is ready to accept connections at all

What do you mean by that? As far as I can see, MariaDB reports "ready for connections" directly before starting to listen for them, there are no time-consuming operations in-between. I believe, that for all practical purposes when you see "ready for connections", the server is, indeed, ready for connections. Regards, Sergei
