Re: Oracle dropping support for 8.05 - Anyone know why?

8.0.5 has been replaced by 8.0.6. They usually don't support maintenance releases that long, the same happened with many maintenance releases in Oracle 7.
Being at that time at a site where they never upgraded, because the internal customers didn't want to pay for it, I was almost choking under the different versions. Basically everything from 6.0.36 until 7.3.2 was present.
