      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.
    
    
    For the first we should not be migrating users on upgrades to
    another DB solution regardless if it's an fork or not of the already
    installed DB and we continue to ship it, secondly if we *must* do
    that ( which is it is not in this case since we are continuing to
    package and ship mysql ) we should have an opt out way for
    administrators to do so at upgrade time instead of having them to
    backtrack all the migration steps and revert them followed by them
    finally having to remove mariadb in this case an simply big fat
    warning presented at the end user during the upgrade phaze which
    offers him to opt out migration and continue to use MySQL...
