Perhaps fanfare was too strong a word.  I was greatly encouraged by what I
read about CBC latch sharing for reads in Cary's "Why You Should Focus on
LIOs Instead of PIOs" and Richmond's "Oracle Wait Interface:..."

I don't know if there is any published material
on this - I think I got the important bit of it from
Steve Adams' masterclass.

It's likely that the sharable cache latch used some
of the time is better than never having it at all - and
Oracle does keep finding new ways to (a) reduce
the latch acquisition, and (b) switch to single latch
reads anyway, so scalability does keep improving.

Where did you see a fanfare about sharable latches,
I didn't spot it. I'd be interested to see how it was
presented.
