MariaDB replaces MySQL in RHEL7
Subject says its all, this is of course, very good news coming out of the Red Hat Summit. Looking forward to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. And of course, CentOS 7 and the other builds that follow. Thank you Red Hat!
MariaDB replaces MySQL in RHEL 7. Glad to see that. #rhsummit

at #rhsummit , rhel7 will come without mysql as it will be replaced with mariaDB; which is mysql api compatible. it will include mongodb too

FWIW, Major later stated: “I may have misspoken. MySQL will be there but it won’t be the default (speaker clarified).”

Hi Lenz,
Its just like Fedora 19 from the information that I have: http://www.bytebot.net/blog/archives/2013/04/30/testing-fedora-19
I think its hard not to have MySQL at the moment.
And if anyone wants some news clips:

* http://www.itwire.com/business-it-news/open-source/60292-red-hat-ditches-mysql-switches-to-mariadb (quotes from Arjen Lentz, and a lengthy comment stream too)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkAeahvm_rA is worth a watch. 27:15 if you’re interested in finding out that MongoDB is coming along. 27:30 if you want to know how MariaDB is being focused on.
As always, more articles have been written on this:

* http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/06/15/red_hat_to_ditch_mysql_for_mariadb_in_rhel_7/
Now watch Oracle buy 10gen/MongoDB…
And to further keep track of this, Red Hat has now said that no decision has been made, but the focus is on Software Collections.
