Description:
SQL code in mysql_sys_schema.sql is minified. Each procedure definition is in 1 line.

Consequences:
* It is not readable without annoying operations, that need to be repeated for each MySQL release.
* Cannot do a pull request, because the majority of diffs will be noise.
* Cannot fork it.

Of course you are aware of these conseguences. And I understand that they are, somehow, a marketing choice, not just side effects. But I am a user and I am not payed by Oracle, so I consider this as a serious bug. Please forgive my ingenuity.

How to repeat:
Be a user.

"Cannot fork it" means that there is not possible to make a fork and keep merge changes from the upstream repo.

That file is generated from the mysql-sys repo on github. If you want to fork or alter code, you should do it on the upstream repo (as it mentions clearly at the top of the generated file).
