I'm sorry but you are wrong! See
https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=mariadb&searchon=names&suite=cosmic&section=all
(cosmic is not released even!)
https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=mariadb&searchon=names&suite=unstable&section=all
(and this is unstable!)
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/mariadb/commits/el6
(el6, centos 6)
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/mariadb/commits/f27
(10.2.17)
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/mariadb/commits/f28
(10.2.17)
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/mariadb/commits/f29
(10.3.9, next release, not released yet).

And why you are refering to mariadb.org site? Do they provide distro
packages on distro official mirrors? If I understand that site correctly
this is not official repositories (except Archlinux, they just give
usual receipt how to install package).

Nobody stops you to build mariadb package locally (I do that for some
packages).

Deliberate provocation of mystical experience, particularly by LSD and related
hallucinogens, in contrast to spontaneous visionary experiences, entails
dangers that must not be underestimated.  Practitioners must take into
account the peculiar effects of these substances, namely their ability to
influence our consciousness, the innermost essence of our being.  The history
of LSD to date amply demonstrates the catastrophic consequences that can
ensue when its profound effect is misjudged and the substance is mistaken
for a pleasure drug.  Special internal and external advance preparations
are required; with them, an LSD experiment can become a meaningful
experience.
