I agree, we care for real world usage of Fedora, not XYZ.

Yup rhel != Fedora

The third party support can be distribution agnostic like for example [1]

Running on Fedora does not break support there however using mariadb will.

If the current maintainers orphan mysql anyone can pick it up including Oracle employees and continue it's maintenance within the distribution.

Any beef, competition or what not between Red Hat and Oracle ( or anyone else for that matter ) is between Red Hat and Oracle not Fedora and I cant imagine FESCO/Board standing in the way of Oracle wanting to packaging and maintain anything in the distribution unless it breaks some legal jargon just like everyone else.
