MySQL packages in Fedora use a versioned layout (e.g. mysql8.4, mysql9.7), where each version provides versioned sub-packages. One version at a time is designated the "distribution default" and additionally provides unversioned package names (e.g. mysql-server, mysql-devel). This change switches the distribution default from MySQL 8.4 to MySQL 9.7 in Fedora 45.

Owners, do not implement this work until the FESCo vote has explicitly ended.
When a FESCo member has marked this ticket as APPROVED, you may proceed with the implementation. See the FESCo ticket policy and the Changes policy for more information.
If no decision has been rendered after 7 days from the filing of this ticket and no indication (such as a -1 vote) that this will be taken up at a FESCo meeting, please feel free to ping for a status update.

REMINDER: This ticket is for FESCo members to vote on the proposal. Further discussion should happen in the Discourse discussion linked above. Additional discussion may happen on the Fedora Devel mailing list.
