I haven't contributed to any git issues before, please bear with me if I'm doing this in the wrong area or formatting my question incorrectly. I don't know if this even qualifies as an issue either.

I'm setting up a new project using EE 2.9.3 and making use of FocusLab's Master Config. I'm noticing (for the first time) when you do an install, EE offers the option to use MySQLi or MySQL - defaulting to MySQLi. And if you take a look at the Master Config database.php file there's a var for dbdriver, it's default value is "MySQL". I'm assuming that I should just use the same value that EE had created when I performed the EE install "mysqli", which I"m guessing should just work and shouldn't be an issue at all.

In the future will Master Config default to MySQLi as the dbdriver value? I'm no expert in this area, but before making any choice during the EE install, I had to do some research to become familiar with what MySQLi was anyway. Based on the docs I was reading, the impression I've got is MySQLi is the preferred way to go as long as your server's using php5... again, not an expert, just wanting to contribute to things overall.

Hope this is helpful in some way.
