Drop-in Replacement for MySQL

MariaDB versions function as a "drop-in replacement" for the equivalent MySQL version, with some limitations.

Which is wrong. Kind of. With some limitations.

While there are various clarifications and amendments deep down below, the page still starts with a very misleading claim and many users won't read down deep enough to see all "yes, but" corrections. This needs to be toned down.
