I completely disagree. Why this attitude from both you, and to some extent Oracle, that people using SE don't need high availability? Is this some kind of anti-SE prejudice? You don't need MAA unless you have deep pockets?

Just because someone doesn't need the full feature set of EE does not mean they don't need to eliminate the server as a single point of failure (or a DR site).

I know a number of organizations that use SE RAC clusters to support their Grid Control OMR. Can you think of a single reason why they would want to go to EE? A single reason why they wouldn't want to invest a bit of effort in making sure the Grid is always up?

I sure can't.
