Good point. On AIX with RAC you have to have an init.ora that points to the
spfile so you can find it.

Ah, the chicken or the egg...
Control files are identified by the parameter (spfile/init.ora) file. If you
kept the parameters in the control file, how would the database know which
control files to read? And if a control file was lost? How would you edit
the
control file to change the parameter to point to a different control file?
Sounds like a catch-42.
