I'm not smart enough to know MySQL from MariaDB.  I just downloaded 
mythbuntu from the download site, burn it to a CDROM or USB key and 
install it.  The database always takes care of itself.  I only rebuild 
when I have all my recordings archived to a NAS and my database is 
basically empty.  I rebuild it before the fall TV season starts.  So now 
I'm committed to Mythbuntu 14.04.4 until next year because of issues I'm 
having with 16.04.  I can get 16.04 working except for 2 issues that are 
not DB related.  Just related to my TV and A/V receiver.  There is also 
a bug with mythtranscode that has not been fixed so I'm staying on 
mythtv 0.27

So even though I've tested a lot on 0.28, and 16.04, I still have no 
idea why you are worried about MySQL vs. MariaDB.  I still use mysql 
commands on 16.04.  So I'm unaware of any changes in that area.

I have to mottoes to live by.
1.  if it ain't broke don't fix it and
2.  You can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning.
