that's true but that exact same page also mentions (under "RHEL 9 Full 
Life Application Streams Release Life Cycle") that mariadb 10.5 is there 
(and the only mariadb version btw) with "retirement date" set to "May 
2032" :-)
I guess new version should an "opt-in" module soon but shouldn't be the 
default one ? (just a guess on my side though)

Alfredo : worth creating a ticket to ask for clarification ?
