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.

Then install community-mysql with all the caveats in mind of how well
that's likely to be supported and restore your data.

Your alternative is to use an enterprise Linux distribution that has a
longer life cycle than fedora.
