I'm very grateful to Bradley for volunteering to take over the MySQL ports from me, for his work on the almost 700 other ports he maintains, and for everything else he does for MacPorts. Remember that we're volunteers here, and all we ask in return for our work on MacPorts is a little patience and occasional appreciation. Cooperation is great too: If you know how to fix #34552, by all means attach a patch to that ticket.

Mistakes are one thing.  But this was a change to a working port and
the change broke a "normal install" of the port.  So it seems a safe
bet that the change was not tested adequately (maybe not at all).

Being a "volunteer" should not be equated with being unaccountable.

How to fix: revert until a proper fix is available.  Putting such an
important port in a broken state is not nice.
