MySQL 8 or MariaDB

Is there a roadmap for upgrading MySQL (or moving to MariaDB) here at FQ?
If so, can you tell us what it is?

There is not currently any plan to switch to MariaDB. We are planning to upgrade MySQL in the near future but it will be one major version at a time. Once the hurdles for the 5.6 upgrade are cleared the additional upgrades would go pretty quickly with maybe a week or so between them to allow people to adapt.
