Comment:

 If tickets are not already filed for the other "key things" that are not
 building (aside from mariadb* and the ports that depend on mariadb*)
 please file new tickets.

 Users can install older ports following wiki:howto/InstallingOlderPort
 however what you're proposing is installing an older libxml2 prior to
 2.12.x which will probably lead you to other problems since other ports
 have already been fixed to build with libxml2 2.12.x (but not necessarily
 pre-2.12.x libxml2 anymore).

 The better solution is for someone to update the mariadb* ports to fixed
 versions where upstream has already fixed it (mariadb-10.5 needs to be
 updated to 10.5.25, for example) and backport the upstream fix to the
 earlier mariadb* ports that won't receive the upstream fix (mariadb-10.4
 and earlier).
