So if I understand correctly, DA needs code adjustments for every new release of database software to handle that version and I assume that's a bigger change than just adding a line with the new version number. So installing the new version of MariaDB/MySQL would actually break DA.
In that case the old DA will indeed be end of life, as it's not about installing the MariaDB/MySQL updates but about them breaking old DA.
That would leave us to the options I mentioned where DA needs some money and/or hands that would be able to make these changes and extend the lifetime of old DA. But I don't know if that would be possible for external developers to help. Do you see any possibilities in that direction? If you tell what would be needed, the LLH user base can consider if that would be interesting enough to investigate.
Example: to implement support for MariaDB 10.11 it would take X hours of work resulting in a certain amount of money that would need to be raised by crowdfunding, sponsors or some license migration deal. The community can come up with ideas. And if they can't raise that money, it will be over.
Of course it would also be good to determine which components will fail next in the foreseeable future to see the bigger picture.
