Comments.Text: MySQL 5.7 is from 2015, so it's disappointing that a major host doesn't offer it.  However, you're not forced to upgrade past CiviCRM 5.33 until you're able to.

Comments.Text: I just raised this with Siteground today and got a 'No plans to upgrade to 5.7 this year' which is very disappointing, to say the least.  I guess we'll be leaving Siteground for my clients, especially in view of Search Kit coming in Civi.

  My site is hosted on Siteground. They said I can't upgrade to MySql 5.7+ at the moment, but will be able to do so soon. I currently have this version of MySql: Server version: 5.6.40-84.0-log - Percona Server (GPL), Release 84.0, Revision 47234b3
  
  What will happen if Civi upgrades to 5.34+ before I can upgrade to MySQL 5.7+.
