Let me put it this way:
If something goes wrong, Oracle won't help you out. You are running a
desupported version of Oracle AND you are running it on a platform for
which is was never certified.
As you seem to accept the fact Oracle is not going to help you out, it
doesn't matter at all anymore.
Your configuration is not supported, and yet you continue using it.
You are taking risks, and *you* will probably get fired when anything
goes wrong, not the bunch of bean-counters called 'management' who
decided to upgrade Windows and not to upgrade Oracle.
This is why I state it doesn't matter anymore. Production and standby
should not work under different releases. But you also shouldn't run
uncertified combinations. This means it doesn't matter anymore.
