This looks like a great place to tell you about the burning white hot rage I have for Debian after my difficulties with MySQL this past weekend.
I was working on script that builds a LEMP stack with Vagrant on a Debian box. And when the script was upgraded to use Debian Stretch, everything we did to customize MySQL configuration broke, and I spent many hours of anguish not knowing why.
Until I stumbled onto the fact that Debian decided that in version 9, they'd start installing MariaDB when you typed "apt-get install mysql-server". I cannot fully explain the anger I have for this dark pattern: When I say "install x", you should either install x or say you don't have it, not install a competitor you think is close enough.
