Upstream being abandoned, will Percona continue to maintain Mysql?

It seems MySQL (https://github.com/mysql/mysql-server) hasn’t had any commits in 4 months, since Oracle laid off a bunch of people.

Will Percona continue to maintain MySQL, eventually releasing new versions after 8.4.7? Or we should start looking for alternatives?

Hi @Francesco_Montanari ,

Last year this “question” was covered in the blog from Julia and then a followup from Vadim included the way forward.
