Comment:

 Or perhaps not.

 It looks like Oracle has decided to confuse how version numbers work
 starting with 8.0:

 https://dev.mysql.com/blog-archive/introducing-mysql-innovation-and-long-
 term-support-lts-versions/

 As I now understand it, MySQL 8 is now an LTS release starting with
 version 8.4. Therefore it seems the mysql8 port should update to 8.4.x and
 the mysql81 and mysql82 ports should never have been created and should
 be` replaced_by mysql8`. mysql81 and mysql82 variants in other ports
 should be changed to `requires mysql8`.
