I don't profess to have access to or consult to a large number of clients, as you do, but the clients I do consult for are large financial clients here in Boston and none of them are making any fast moves to 10G. A database upgrade is a massive undertaking that mandates that the clients of the database have internally architected a solid, tested and trustable regression test cycle, and this has nothing to do with how well the database vendor's product is architected. And nobody, that I have ever consulted for, ever got that correct. So, instead, they all do it slowly and methodically.
