gv$reserved_words  -- this should be a no-brainer
gv$parameter
gv$database
gv$instance
gv$version
gv$session         -- and they should be trained on how to use it.
gv$mystat          -- and they should be trained on how to use it.

I know a lot of DBAs think there is value in keeping developers in the dark but I've yet to see a good argument for not improving the quality of developers by giving them access and teaching them what to look for.

Morgan's library is being stripped of all references to v$ and they are being replaced with gv$ so that developers become RAC aware.
