Uh, conflicting with MySQL is really a no go (just look at how many things 
require mysql-libs, and even mysql-server is required for Akonadi, and 
mysql-embedded or Amarok), why isn't the fork renaming its stuff? If the 
idea is to be a 100% compatible drop-in replacement, then Fedora needs to 
make a choice whether to ship Oracle's MySQL or MariaDB and then stick to 
it.
