I your intention was to ban mysql in the distribution then it should
have been banned and dropped instead of this mess that you guys have
created.
IMHO you cannot ban/deprecate a package from the distro, if there's
still a packager/contributor to the package. Also you can not force
somebody to drop a package.
I'm aware of that but we can force migration upon users on upgrades
while we still provide and ship that component?
If users have *chosen* to install component A and we *still* provide (
maintain,package and ship ) component A, the users should be upgraded
to that components latest release upon upgrade.
If users have *chosen* to install component A and we *no longer*
provide ( maintain,package and ship ) component A then the argument
can be made that we should "migrate" component A to component B during
release upgrades if it provides same or similar functionality ( even
thou I feel it's bad policy doing so and we would be better of doing
nothing as in simply not upgrade or migrate that component unless it
becomes absolutely necessary )
