I'm not sure we need Oracle and Maria tossing grenades at each other. I
think we're all broadly aware of the character of both products and able
to apply whatever derogatory mental labels we feel appropriate =)
I didn't mean to toss grenades or apply any labels,
I'm sorry if it looked that way.
I only wanted to quote wikipedia without stating my own opinion.
And to point out that benchmark results are controversial [1] for
yet unknown reason.
But, of course, it's obvious that MySQL 5.6 has a tons of new features,
as compared to MySL 5.5, this can not be disputed.

P.S. Frankly speaking, I didn't realize I was replying to an Oracle
employee :) Thanks for poining it out!
