Request for input on feature backports from MySQL 5.8 to 5.7

[Norvald H. Ryeng]

Hi,

I hope this is the right place to reach the SRU team and to raise this  
issue.

Oracle has a few requests for input on backporting features from MySQL 5.8  
to 5.7. These do not fall under the existing micro-release exception for  
MySQL, so we're asking now in order to get feedback from Ubuntu before we  
make a decision upstream:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-5.7/+bug/1571605
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-5.7/+bug/1571606

We would like a +1 or a -1 (or comments) from the SRU team on backporting  
these before we decide what to do upstream. If you have any questions, I  
will be happy to answer them.

Regards,

Norvald H. Ryeng

P.S. I don't subscribe to the ubuntu-release mailing list, so please try
