Because on that instance you cannot legally apply patches. As soon as you
start patching the instance, you have to pay for support. And without
patches, the software is pretty much useless. 11.2.0.1 was almost
unusable without the first few quarterly patch sets. As soon as you apply
a PSU, the license conditions change.
