Everyone is welcome to their opinion but, personally, I switched to Maria because I think they are better stewards of an open source project than Oracle is. http://mysqlha.blogspot.com/2012/08/less-open-source.html http://mysqlha.blogspot.com/2012/08/less-open-source.html etc. etc. You are free to hold a separate and equally valid opinion. :)
