Could you please reconsider?

For the MySQL and MariaDB packages point releases are very stable and
the normal way to upgrade packages in production environments (and
distributions). For this reason the MySQL and MariaDB packages have
been granted the micro release exception in Ubuntu
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates/MicroReleaseExceptions)
as an example of distribution policy.

A point release will anyway be pushed via the security channel sooner
or later. I think it would make sense to push unblock mariadb-10.017-1
now directly.

I have CC'd the security team if they want to chip in and say that
letting 10.0.17-1 in is OK.
