> they could probably get 1/2 the team who maintains mariadb to come in and work for them if they wanted

The Mythical Man Month has a few things to say about that.

(It's tempting to feel that the information is outdated, but in my experience it still seems true.)

My point was, that they've not done that, is because it wouldn't help.

This is an architectural problem, which even if they had the massive expensive brains behind something like mysql on their team they couldn't fix it.

(at least, I'm guessing, I think this kinda architecture doesn't scale even if they could kick the can down the road a few times..)
