Here is the real world horror story:
Many third party software suppliers certify on a certain oracle release. Once they sold the product to you they don't certify new oracle releases. If you upgrade the database anyway they refuse to give support. If this bug exists in 7.3.4 and 8.0 I have an additional argument to force them into certifying a supported oracle release. That's why I want to know this.
