It is different from upstream MySQL in many ways as that page explains.

bla - if it woul dbe just a recompile from the mysql sources it would not be a fork - in 99.9% of all cases IT IS a drop-in-replacement - if you have REAL issues name them - period

        It certainly can. It just doesn't. Because we merge from 5.6 into
        MariaDB feature by feature, and nobody has requested this
        particular
        feature so far. At least I couldn't find it in Jira.
