I do not think Oracle is reducing support for OPS either since if they were why would version 8 include such new OPS features as multiple instance views, gv$ tables, and provide their own lock manager instead of having the OS vendors provide it. With 8.1 there are more improvements with OPS. Still, if an Oracle product does not sell then Oracle has been known to drop the product.
