It has been long in the coming (Oracle bought Sun and MySQL over 15 years ago), but seems WordPress is finally at the point where MariaDB popularity surpassed MySQL as shown by stats at https://wordpress.org/about/stats/.

The share of MySQL 8.4 users is oddly low, just 0.1 %. One would think it would still be at least 1% or something..
