This is how control panels like cPanel do multi-version PHP support and is very handy for per-site PHP version migration where one Web server is hosting multiple PHP-using sites.
As for MariaDB, the repos at https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/ma...tup-and-usage/ on tne official MariaDB site are pretty good and well worth using instead of your distro's shipped MariaDB.
Note that both Remi's PHP and MariaDB's official repos have split minor releases into separate repos, which can make minor updates rather awkward. It can mean actually having to delete the old packages (including the repo package/config) and install the new repo and packages from scratch. I think this is done because the "minor" X.Y versions are actually quite long-lived and often have a lot of feature changes, so they're more akin to a more traditional "major" version.
