OS patches fully regression tested against the Oracle software, *especially* during an upgrade of the database software.

I really have no desire to hand control of our environment (comprised of multiple OS', database vendors, and application technologies) over to Oracle. Yes, I know I can do all kinds of things with RAC, but that is not the only technology we run. If you assume the only software a given org runs is Oracle, you may be able to do what you are suggesting, but not in my neck of the woods.

Virtualization can be a good thing...
