You can conclude anything you wish but I have been testing 10g for months and I have reason to believe you would be incorrect. Of course Grid is an extension of RAC. And of course the name has changed. It allows the person at Oracle that is VP of Product Renaming something to do. But there is more to Grid than just that name change.

Exactly what is it you expected on an unreleased product?
