and why in the world is this not solved more pragmatically?
my conslusion is

This doesn't solve all the issues -- if package like akonadi-mysql says
"Requires: mysql-server", then Oracle MySQL either wouldn't satisfy that
requirement or (in case it includes "Provides: mysql-server") RPM
choosing behavior would be ambiguous.
so why is MariaDB not obsoleting mysql without all
this versioning tricks and "mysql-oracle" installs
the server under "/usr/local/mysql-oracle/" and
provides a "mysql-oracle.service"?
This is simply not possible in Fedora:
