To remain backward compatible, the idea of using the same port number, data files, etc. seem to be in play. If we are to apply for a new port number we have to change the protocol to some extent
We have the same issue with Percona Server and also with Drizzle (to a lesser extent).
Maybe somebody can point out how RHEL/Fedora do multiple web servers or email servers as that's essentially what we have here. Surely things like nginx, lighttpd and postfix are also packaged for RHEL/Fedora?
Its called the alternatives packaging system. I have posted a reference to this here before. It also requires we change the MySQL package. Should we work on this as a community effort?
