Hi Robie,

I took a look at mysql-server-core-5.7 based on IRC discussions with you. Unfortunately, this package doesn't create the mysql user and group, doesn't provide the systemd unit and doesn't integrate well with other tooling (like the mysql puppet module maintained by puppetlabs). For those reasons, I concluded it was better to stick with the non-core package for my client's setup.

I tried to lower the maintenance cost by providing a patch, but I would understand Canonical not wanting to adopt it for a user population that's unknown and potentially rather low.

Regards,
Simon
