After all it isn´t like size is an issue, given the DVD installer and repos. In fact, F18 ships with both Gnome 3 and the Gnome 2.x fork, Mate. Why not imitate that approach and add MariaDB "IN ADDITION TO" not "instead of". For MariaDB supporters, it´d be a big win "Fedora adds MariaDB to its repos". However I suspect the objective is to get headlines like "Fedora drops MySQL for MariaDB" which has other, more political, implications. I favor freedom, let users decide.
