Anything new is so buggy, in oracle.
Being a senior DBA, you should be aware of this.
Think about ASSM, IOT, Partition, and especially SMU.
Which feature comes mature in the first 1-2 release?
Many DBAs tried all the new fancy stuff, and got their production

some bug, and need some special workaround, patch, or even rollback.
