What happens when MariaDB and Mysql start diverging? Will it be
impossible to have a client that connects to both mysql and mariadb

The protocol (

seems to carry enough negotiation and version information that this
shouldn't be a problem, or it at least should be fixable. Of course
some of the divergent functionality may not be available through the
other client.
