Janet is deploying a new web application that supports use of active/active mysql. She's able to deploy percona-cluster direct from the Ubuntu archive on Ubuntu 14.04 to support this requirement.
Tony works for a company that has mandated use of Oracle MySQL; he's able to deploy a fully supported solution direct from the Ubuntu archive on Ubuntu 14.04.

Percona packaging will enter Debian/Ubuntu before 14.04 release.
MySQL 5.5 remains upstream supported until 2018, so no hard requirement for transition to 5.6 in 14.04 dev cycle.
