Q1/2026 Server Development
Description
While reading server logs in bug report I noticed that many of them have the message:
[ERROR] Can't open and lock privilege tables: Table 'mysql.servers' doesn't exist
|
One would expect an error to prevent the server from starting. However, it seems the server disregards this:

This is very confusing. Why isn't the server stopping on an error? When the server later has real issues and errors, how can users distinguish between old errors and new errors?
