Tongue-in-cheek detected.  

But with all reverence and respect for Mr. Millsap (and Mr. Holt, I have two copies of The Book), I still don't care for OFA's placement of data in the same directory tree as the Oracle software. I don't like the risk to removing live datafiles while maintaining the software inventory. We typically have separate mount points for the Oracle DB files.  

AFAICR, I'm the only one on this list that has voiced this blasphemous opinion, so it's very possible that I'm off base here. Thoughts, anyone?

	Good point.  It's clear that Mr. Millsap was misguided when he

wrote those OFA papers. I'll bet that Oracle 11x will trumpet the superiority of Method C over Method R.

                Sarah, it isn't just under Winduhs, the
$ORACLE_BASE/admin was moved under $ORACLE_HOME. If you come to think of
that, it makes sense. Database is always managed by certain version of software and you can have several versions under the very same
$ORACLE_BASE. Databases that are 10.2 will be under 10.2 software tree,
those managed by 9.2 will be under 9.2 software

                tree, databases running 5.1.22 and 6.0.36 will be under
$ORACLE_BASE/Smithsonian software tree.
