But I don't think that these guys accept criticism. It's against their religion.
People still use mysql? ;)
From Debian popcon: mysql-server-core-5.5 43643 mysql-server-core-5.1 10584 mysql-server-5.1 9617 mysql-server-5.0 4001 mariadb-server 1115 mariadb-server-core-10.0 644 mariadb-server-10.0 636 mariadb-server-5.5 588 drizzle 106
the world is not Debian/Ubuntu nor has free software spy-functions on by default and sou you have no real conuts
If we go by http://mariadb.org/feedback_plugin/stats/server_count_by_month/ then we see that Maria is hedging towards 6,000 installs reporting back.
RHEL//CentOS7/Fedora are using MariaDB as *default* MySQL replacement and likely exceed that 6000 installs, i personally count 15 and they are not reporting back - why should they?
The question wasn't "Is MySQL winning?" It was "People still use mysql?". Stewart answered it: Yes.
