Mariadb has been the 'drop-in' replacement for mysql in Fedora 20, and
was iirc an elective substitute in Fedora 19. I do not remember seeing
anything about patching wrt that changeover.
And going from mysql on Fedora 18 to mariadb on Fedora 20 only involved
some head-scratching as I was also changing from sysinit to systemd.
Mythtv didn't notice.
Which of course, is the "consummation devoutly to be desired".
