--- Comment #16 from Torsten Zuehlsdorff <tz at freebsd.org> ---
> OK, so you want to render the MySQL-Extensions from FreeBSDs PHP completly useless by making them incompatible with any defaultinstallation of MySQL >=8?

First: I never stated such a thing. Please re-read my comments.

Second: Following your proposal would render PHP - not only the MySQL -
Extensions - completely useless in many scenarios. Do you think it is better to
break the full PHP instead of a small number of extensions?

Third: These only cause problems with MySQL 8, which still is not the default
version. And the issues can be fixed on MySQL side within any big effort.

Forth: There are other options than breaking PHP in one or more scenarios. And
plenty of time to keep care of them.
