People who are afraid of this:

1. Stakeholders that have a MySQL-based house and use a lot of MySQL support
(which is bound to get more expensive) -- they'll have costs associated with
the migration to another database (even if it's only MariaDB or other MySQL
fork)

2. Developers that make proprietary MySQL-only-based software -- they cannot
use any MySQL fork, so they'll have to bear the costs of the migration
