Because of my DBA background, I am naturally paranoid and don't trust
anyone, not even Oracle database developers. I firmly believe that each
minor update should be tested on TEST/DEV instance. Major things, like
patch bundles and upgrades should undergo rigorous testing on TEST/DEV,
QA and UAT before being applied to production. But that's just me.

How confident are those in the Oracle Database Core Development team (not referring to the VPs/SVPs reporting to the CxOs) ? Can they deliver automated patching that doesn't cause plan flips on critical SQLs (and each application / implementation has a different list of critical SQLs) or any outages ?
