[CentOS-devel] mariadb:10.11 module enabled by default in latest C9S compose

I have just replied to tickets, and even opened a new one internally to get
this fixed. This is clearly an unintentional error. The version shouldn't
have changed, and no packages should ever disappear from CentOS Stream.

Here's my quick analysis (and a workaround) I posted to RHEL-25802:

I realised why the original mariadb version "disappeared".

RHEL 9 / CentOS Stream 9 don't have default module streams. Modules are
additional alternatives. By marking this one default, it has masked the
original mariadb package, and because the original package isn't a module,
"dnf module list" won't show it.

I believe "dnf module disable mariadb:10.11" should fix it on that system
(I'm typing that command out of memory, haven't had time to test, someone
can verify.)

This change definitely wasn't intentional, hopefully we can get it fixed
quickly.
