AM 1.13.2: What about using MySQL 7.8 in RHEL7.9?

[arth...@gmail.com]

Hi all,
I am about to install AM 1.13.2 in RHEL7.9 but, due to the end of support status of MySQL 5.5, I am wondering if anyone has already tested/used MySQL 7.8 in RHEL7.9.

On the Technical Requirement of the AM 1.13.2 I read:
"Archivematica 1.13 has been tested with MySQL 5.5, including the Percona and MariaDB alternatives. Archivematica uses MySQL 5.7 on Ubuntu 18.04."

Is there any reason not to use MySQL 7.8 on RHEL7 as well?

Thanks in advance

Arthy
