Uh, conflicting with MySQL is really a no go (just look at how many

idea is to be a 100% compatible drop-in replacement, then Fedora needs to
make a choice whether to ship Oracle's MySQL or MariaDB and then stick to
it.
That may be the outcome of all of this. But that still means that we need
MariaDB packaged first.
All forks of mysql are meant as a drop-in replacement. There is also at
least PerconaDB with the same problem which would be interesting to package.
