No, roman numerals are definitely the way they should go here.
I want to see Oracle XIII...seems more sinister somehow, which makes that much
more appropriate

They could use hex:
Oracle D
or octal which puts us back to:
Oracle 15
Or maybe binary:
Oracle 1101
Maybe use base 9:
Oracle 14
Base 11 wouldn't work, though:
Oracle 12
How about base 7:
Oracle 16
The possibilities could be endless.

I agree with Tim that it's about marketing and not arithmetic. The
trouble is that nobody can ignore the Chinese market these days, and
Oracle 14 will definitely not do in China (no 14th floor in Hong Kong),
and the Chinese attach even more importance to numbers than westerners.
Will we skip for Oracle 12Rn to Oracle 15? Talk of a "mature" product ...
