According to Wikipedia:

    After the 5.5 version, MariaDB developers decided to start a branch
    numbered 10, as an attempt to make it clear that MariaDB 10.0 will
    not import all features from MySQL 5.6; however, they might be
    imported in future versions.

So it might be best to keep it for users desiring MySQL 5.6+ features
that won't be present in MariaDB until possibly later.
