If you would prefer to use community-mysql rather than follow onto MariaDB I suspect the safest thing would be take a backup (you do that anyway right?) and just doing this from the filesystem is probably the simplest way.
Then use a supported method to upgrade to F19 ... Either remove mysql before this or remove mariadb after this.
Then install community-mysql with all the caveats in mind of how well that's likely to be supported and restore your data.
Your alternative is to use an enterprise Linux distribution that has a longer life cycle than fedora.
