Can you quantify this? I mean, did anyone actually ask upstream what 
their support commitment is going to be?

10.0 left NEW on 26th August. Since then, it hasn't been uploaded to 
unstable, though I do see a version on mentors from yesterday.

It has the following problems:

  - lintian error build-depends-on-obsolete-package
  - rewrites changelog history

It's past the end of transitions for Jessie. Does moving from MariaDB 
5.5 to 10.0 in Jessie have any transition implications? There's at least 
one symbol that goes away completely.
