Well, Oracle announced a new way of submitting enhancement requests:

http://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_datab
ase_id=NEW&p_id=307724.996

Not that it'll necessarily help, but I'd like to think that it couldn't
hurt...  :)

I agree.  Sounds like they took the MS/XP approach to keeping the OS up to
date.
Well, my DB is not a (home) desktop OS.  Sorry, I'll apply the patches
me-self.

We got a preview of the new OEM during Andy Mendelsohn's talk.

HTML-based, what *really* scared me is that Oracle is just NOT
listening. They demo'd OEM's ability to track what patches you need to
apply, go out to the net (Metalink), download the patch and apply it.
Automatically.

See, I don't know about anyone else, but my production database servers
sit behind several firewalls. And have no direct connection to the net.
Nor do we want one. 

Oracle has been saying "administer your database from the web" since
version 8 (I had a conversation with Ken Jacobs at an NYOUG meeting
back then, trying to tell him why that was a BAD thing). Then they
release alerts that say that the listener is vulnerable to attack and
break-in. Then they demo a product that will open a connection to the
net from my protected servers.

Oh yeah, I'm gonna use OEM for that feature. NOT.
