Warning: if you use the undocumented, unsupported, un-talked about setting you will lose your database very quickly.

disableing redo (which this lets you do) will make it so that if you database is shutdown in any manner OTHER then "shutdown" or "shutdown immediate", it will never startup again. If you "shutdown abort" or lose power to the machine or the instance otherwise shutdowns, it will not be able to perform crash recovery, it will not start again.
