Yes, I am starting with these first to get responses from the
maintainers of these most important cases and see if there's anything
unexpected.

I will do the full list later. This is not urgent because Forky is
over a year away. Also MariaDB 12.3 and MySQL 9.7 are also quite new,
so ecosystem-wide knowledge of the divergence will likely spread in
coming months and isn't there immediately now. Better to go slowly and
have a staged approach than rush it.
