AFAIK at this point a definitive list of possible features to implement
in MariaDB has not been created. That may well be a topic at the
company meeting in 3 weeks.

It is my assumption that we will be looking through historical feature
requests and making some attempt to prioritize them by largest affected
userbase. IOW, I would personally like to implement those features that
will satisfy the largest cross-section of users.

That having been said, feature requests and such non-recurring
engineering is a keystone of the Monty Program business model. You can
guess where I'm going from here ... ;)
