Hello,
I'd like to apply for an exception from Package Review Guidelines.

TL;DR:
MySQL in Fedora is packaged as versioned packages (mysql8.0, mysql8.4)
I want to introduce new LTS version of MySQL as a new package (mysql9.7).
It is done by rebase on top of the latest MySQL versioned package (mysql8.4).

I seek your blessing to skip the package review process, since it is a close alternative version of what is already packaged.

This request is an analogue of an older accepted one I had with MariaDB: #1523
pretty much everything there applies here as well.

Rebase is prepared here: https://src.fedoraproject.org/fork/mschorm/rpms/mysql8.4/c/e7487260a5ae5f9959361845db6309e276051719?branch=rebase_to_9.7_LTS

and successfuly built here:
