Comment (by markoheijnen):

 Core does lack having attention for this issue. I totally forgot to
 mention this in the chat yesterday. '''That said you can already use
 MariaDB.''' I already do that for one site. You normally do get a warning
 that the version doesn't match warning . I'm not sure if that is fixable
 with mysql_* functions so I do use PDO for that by using db.php dropin.

 If not then please mention what doesn't work.
