It was changed with the update to MySQL 5.7.12.
5.7.12 adds the new keyring plugin which needs its keyring file in
etc/mysql/keyring therefor etc/mysql had to be created nonetheless.
As etc/mysql is the standard location for my.cnf in most to nearly all other OS
it was the right moment to bring FreeBSD in par with the rest of the world.
BTW: FreeBSDs default location for my.cnf was /var/db/mysql/my.cnf and not
/usr/local/etc/my.cnf

As for UPDATING you're right and i mentioned that two or three times before
while we prepared the update. That was forgotten somehow, but it will be done
hopefully soon.


As for the other ports, i've done most backports for MySQL 5.6 the last days.
MariaDB 10 and Percona 5.6 will follow in the next weeks.

Not sure if i'll also prepare backports for MySQL/MariaDB/Percona 5.5 as
they're IMHO not widely used anymore and should be removed from ports instead.
