so why is MariaDB not obsoleting mysql without all

This is simply not possible in Fedora:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#No_Files_or_Directories_under_.2Fsrv.2C_.2Fopt.2C_or_.2Fusr.2Flocal
Should an exception be allowed - or is the rule so rigid ?
Anything under /usr/local (except of the basic directory layout) is
supposed to be 100% under a user's control and not to be touched by
distributions.
Somewhat oversimplified, this means /usr/local is off-limits of Fedora,
no exceptions allowed.
...and for the love of all that's good and holy, please no-one suggest /opt.
