### [iconstantin](https://launchpad.net/~iconstantin)

since mysql versions 5.7 and earlier are no longer supported
upstream, we are unable to update them to address security
issues,
marking as ignored.
mariadb 5.5, 10.0, 10.1, and 10.3 are end of life and no
longer supported upstream - marking as ignored.
