I have been using MariaDB for quite some time. I'm pleased to see development is progressing nicely: Finally DDLs are atomic, there is a UUID data type, there is a sys schema, and in 10.8 there will be ASC/DESC indexes. Also, the MariaDB Foundation has recently been doing some great work with docker images which means it's easy even for mere mortals to try out bleeding edge features straight from development.
It will also be interesting to see how the new release model will work out. In recent years a new version (10.3, 10.4, 10.5, ...) has been released once per year, but now they have started releasing more frequently. Some sort of LTS solution will allow continued stability for Linux distros.
