I'm not sure the implementors ever seriously claimed it was one. They bill it as "The World's Most Popular Open Source Database," and seem as uninterested in discussion of things "relational" as any of the other vendors of databases that are only nominally associated with the relational model.

And in any case, their next project looks likely to be "MySQL is obsolete - long live MaxDB!"
