I don't think there has been any discussion about adopting either of
those drivers.  Although if MySQLdb falls out of favour as the
preferred adapter, I'm sure we would follow suit.

Are there particular benefits from making a switch?  Are either of
those adapters seeing much adoption elsewhere?  And if so, is one
winning over the other?
