On a debian system (for some reason, only on my production machine, not 
my test systems) I was having issues with mysql shutting down properly 
(primary issue) and some other minor issues. Like Stephan, the change to 
editline was annoying, but in itself wasn't a deciding factor to do the 
change for me.

Installed mariadb (which was as easy as 'apt-get install 
mariadb-server'), my issues were gone, running a smaller memory 
footprint (only 8% smaller, but still) and have been getting marginally 
better performance.

To the OP: I understand Ubuntu should have mariadb in its regular 
repository, failing that you can try:
https://downloads.mariadb.org/mariadb/repositories/#mirror=iweb&distro=Ubuntu&distro_release=xenial--ubuntu_xenial&version=10.1
 (watch the line wrap on that, and the version).
 From my limited experience with Ubuntu and the fact that the 
mariadb-server is a meta package pulling in a conflicting mysql server, 
you might have to explicitly 'apt-get install mariadb-server-10.0 (or 
whichever version you are trying to pull in).
