Hi!

Please accept my vote against this feature. I don't think mysqld should carry
code that is otherwise only needed for initialisation.

At the same time I'm not big fan of mysql_install_db. My preference is to
have some C++ mariatool that would replace both mysql_install_db and
mysqld_safe (and may be even more shell stuff).

Regards,
Sergey

We've just discussed that a couple of days ago :)

I don't think there was anyone against supporting it, so I'd answer your
question with "yes".

But when it'll be supported is not clear. Too late for 10.4.
10.5 is possible, but no guarantees.
