Igor (not asking Georgi as I saw his forum comment), is there a reason you need MySQL 5.7.x? Just asking before sinking time into it given it's pretty much a dead branch..

Thank you for looking into this.
@Sam James, Are you looking in this? Thank you.
We discussed it and the plan is to mask it. It's been EOL for a long time. It doesn't make sense to invest time in it. It is essentially a mistake it is still in tree.
