    Description

      Boolean server system variables like "read_only" used to default to "0" before MariaDB-12: https://mariadb.com/docs/server/server-management/variables-and-modes/server-system-variables#read_only

      Now they are set to "OFF", which creates problems in software like MediaWiki that casts that value to bool (in PHP, (bool)"OFF" is true).
