Hi!

I just read this news from SkySQL:

http://www.skysql.com/blogs/chriscalender/mariadb-1007-overview-and-highlights

"XtraDB storage engine was upgraded to the 5.6 version. Now one can use XtraDB with MariaDB 10.0. Unlike MariaDB 5.5, in 10.0 XtraDB is not the default engine, the default is InnoDB, and XtraDB is available as a dynamic plugin"

This is confusing to me. When 10.0 is stable, will XtraDB be the default again? If not, can someone summarize the advantages/disadvantages of using XtraDB?

Regards
