In recent months we had some stability issues because of some random installation system test failures. The problem was that for a long time the installation test was not executed with the stylesheet. As this happened on 6.2 and 5.4 with the pr's #46879 and #47734, Chrome shot some random Javascript errors about transition problems. This was fixed and tests are running stable now. Currently Microsoft has some docker issues, where layers can't be downloaded during Github Actions, but this is out of our control and it stabilizes in last weeks as well.

As we were testing only MySQL 8 in our systems tests for pull requests, it was time to also test MySQL 9 regularly. With the pr #47856, we finally got the task done and are now testing the proposed code changes beside MySLQ 8 also on the latest cutting edge version 9.
