[Bug 1427406] Re: data corruption on arm64 and ppc64el

[Marc Deslauriers]

I'm sorry, but I don't see how we can carry these patches in the Ubuntu
MySQL packages.

Since Oracle no longer discloses details of their MySQL security
vulnerabilities, we have no other choice than to upgrade to their latest
upstream version when they publish vulnerability details. This implies
that we are relying on their internal testing for each release.

Adding these patches will prevent us from being able to update to a new
MySQL version as soon as it is available as the patches will require
porting and testing. Diverging from upstream also means we aren't
actually running the code that has passed their testing.

On top of that, there is no clear indication these patches will actually
end up in the next MySQL version, as there is a contributor agreement
issue.

Due to these reasons, I have to object to carrying these patches in
Ubuntu.
