To be pedantic, the LONG datatype hasn't really been supported since somewhere around version 8i (which itself is being desupported in a few months).
Anecdotally, I interviewed for a position at a well-known retail e-commerce site last year and when I learned that they were allowing current use of the LONG datatype to delay indefinitely their upgrade plans, I completely lost interest in the job.
