Hi Kristian,

We are actually planning to upgrade some of our servers, but my feeling 
is it's too bad the supported glibc doesn't match what is supported in 
standard MySQL binaries : MariaDB is not anymore just a drop-in replacement.
In my case, it's more difficult to convince my company to move to 
MariaDB 5.2 if they have to upgrade the OS in more than 100 servers ! ;)
But yes, I indeed have the alternative to compile myself MariaDB, I was 
used to do this a few years ago :)
