With mysql now owned by Oracle, who knows how long it'll be maintained.
Oracle has made a public statement about its commitment to MySQL http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/press/042364 Insinuating that Oracle will stop maintaining MySQL is stirring up the FUD and nothing more. Oracle had to make clear commitments to MySQL as part of the EU Commission investigations into the purchase of Sun.
Take a look into what really happened, and the claims made by Mr. Widenius (primary original author of MySQL), vs the statements made by Marten Mickos (former CEO of MySQL)... maybe you'll learn something about the person behind MariaDB.
