 Description   

MySQL stopped including mysql.server and mysqld_safe startup scripts in RPM distributions in 5.7+ due to the widespead use of systemd on these OSes:

"For MySQL installation using an RPM distribution, server startup and shutdown is managed by systemd on several Linux platforms. On these platforms, mysql.server and mysqld_safe are no longer installed because they are unnecessary."

Perhaps we should consider making the same change, unless there is some reason we should not.

They don't hurt, and can be useful if some cases.
