A couple questions:
* Which kind of protocol incompatibilities would you think would be possible in the future? Are we talking about minor differences (like different auth plugins, and things that can be expressed in terms of server capabilities)? Or are we talking about a complete redesign of the MySQL protocol?
I'm expecting new auth plugins and new server capabilities. New data types, perhaps. I'm not expecting a major redesign in the foreseeable future.
* Is there any place in the documentation where I could read about these new additions we are talking about?
I think the best starting point would be https://dev.mysql.com/doc/dev/mysql-server/latest/PAGE_PROTOCOL.html
* Do you think anyone else in MySQL server team would be interested in participating in the formal review for this library? I think their help would be much appreciated.
I'm not an expert on the protocol myself, so I'll try to find someone when the formal review starts. Best regards, Norvald
