Man, that's two years away. Don't worry about it. That is the longest Oracle has supported a release for a long while. Don't forget that a desupport is just no more bug fixes. Your chances of finding new bugs after 2003 are rare (that haven't had a patch already developed that is).

Oracle has announced ECS ends on 31-December-2003 for 8.1.7

I had expected 8.1.7 to continue to mid-2004 (it was released early/mid 2000 ?
and is the terminal 8i release).

Is there any possibility that the ECS date would be extended ?

We are just beginning to upgrade a few 7.3.4 and many 8.0.5/8.1.5/8.1.6 databases to 8.1.7 and are not yet looking at 9.0.1
