MariaDB 10.0 is now uploaded to unstable.

On the list I meant to say that shipping 5.5 is not bad, it is not
"too old". But 10.0 would be better and indeed multiple new sponsors
appeared since and have contributed because they want to see 10.0 in
Jessie. According to MariaDB website the support period for 10.0 will
be at least as long as for 5.5.
