Support Team Communication Plan on Removing MySQL Support in 12.0

With the deprecation of MySQL in 12.1 (see issue #193), support needs to make and follow a communication plan to make this go as smoothly as possible.

Current tasks:

  • Share announcement blog post with the support team to help spread it to the internet (social media FTW)
  • Could something be added to Usage ping in a closer version?
  • Generate a list of useful links to help support users moving from MySQL to PostgresSQL
  • Determine the most efficient plan to handle the potential tickets this event will create
  • Designate "experts" to handle the tickets?
  • Have "go-tos" test the current docs of MySQL => Postgres for accuracy/validity
    • Update if needed
  • Gather feedback from Support Team and Support Managers on this issue to finalize the plan
