I'm guessing you mean during installation you can select the different configuration. But if a site is already established, for those of us who haven't been watching how mysqli is not a good option when installing, I can't switch to mysqlnd on established sites.
For some reason, I updated my own site to J5 last week and realized I had to enable mysqli in the Php options. But when I looked today, I see my Php is using mysqlnd and mysqli is now disabled.
I'm guessing that was something my hosting support did when I mentioned in a ticket that mysqli is no longer enabled by default...which is when I found that it's no longer supported.
All of this is to say, my site is switched over, apparently. I can only assume that my host made the switch.
I guess asking the host if they can make the switch is the right answer for established sites?
