For example in a failover cluster situation with multiple resource groups,
it is nice
to keep the listener with the instance it listens for, otherwise you may
have to
listen for an Oracle 9i database with an Oracle 8.0.5 listener (not really
want to do that)
and at some point the listener needs to move to (because one box dies),
should it have its own resource group (no is the simplest answer).
