Well, we discussed the future of Oracle not long ago, and the OCT was convinced that we would continue oracle support for core for the forseeable future.

I don't see that anything has changed that would justify revoking that decision, myself.

Forseeable future at the time we discussed it was 5.3 and 5.4 release.

What has changed in my opinion is that the support needed and assumed when we talked about continuing Oracle has not manifested itself.

1. UNED is porting LORS to Oracle, check the CVS logs

2. UNED tested .LRN upgrade 2.2.0->2.2.1 last weekend and will be doing so in the future ...

There's not the level of help for oracle I'd like to see but it's not true that no one has stepped forward when the problem was raised.

My vote is NO BTW, just in case there's any doubt.
