I just read this news from SkySQL:

"XtraDB storage engine was upgraded to the 5.6 version. Now one can use XtraDB with MariaDB 10.0. Unlike MariaDB 5.5, in 10.0 XtraDB is not the default engine, the default is InnoDB, and XtraDB is available as a dynamic plugin"
This is confusing to me. When 10.0 is stable, will XtraDB be the default again? If not, can someone summarize the advantages/disadvantages of using XtraDB?
It is not about advantages and disadvantages at the moment.
But XtraDB simply does not compile on all our builders - Percona has introduced patches that use CPU atomic ops and didn't implement a fallback for setups where they are not available (like all the rest of the code does, including InnoDB).
Have we reported bugs upstream? Do we plan on fixing this ourselves if upstream doesn't?
I hope we'll have XtraDB as the default in 10.0.
