This change got introduced as a fix for BUG 22347514 (unpublished) with Oracle Database 12.2.0.1 (thanks to Roderick Manalac for letting me know).

Workaround is to query V$OPTION instead.

I was playing with Oracle 12.2 RAC and have successfully created database:

SQL*Plus: Release 12.2.0.1.0 Production on Mon Aug 28 19:04:48 2017  
Copyright (c) 1982, 2016, Oracle.  All rights reserved.  
 
Connected to:
Oracle Database 12c Enterprise Edition Release 12.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production  
SQL> select inst_id,instance_name,status from gv$instance;  
   INST_ID INSTANCE_NAME    STATUS
---------- ---------------- ------------

     1 rac121        OPEN
     2 rac122        OPEN
 

SQL> However, it doesn't say "with real application cluster and partitioning option".  Before 12.2, all the included options were included in the banner. Here is the 12.1 version, for comparison:

SQL> What's going on? Not that it has any bearing on the DB functionality, RAC works quite nicely, but the strange asceticism of the new 12c R2 banner has attracted my attention.
