1.) Keep in mind that CentOS7 uses upstream RHEL7 source packages, so
CentOS technically will do nothing but continue to repackage RHEL7
packages.

2.) Red Hat will backport fixes to the version of MariaDB it
supports.  Take a look at:
https://access.redhat.com/security/updates/backporting/

3.) If you want to use a version other than whats in the base
repositories, I suggest taking a look at the Software Collections
repos:  https://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/SCL
