I agree to a certain extent, specifically with Oracle Text, Oracle
Media, Oracle Locator, XDB, Java, and the like.
OTOH, APEX is a no-cost feature (not option), which requires HTTP access
to the database. If the DBA is not aware, the dbms_xdb.sethttpport()
and dbms_xdb.setftpport() could be used to open access to the database
through non-traditional access points.
My take is more along the lines: if you are not able to administer and
audit a feature - from a comfort-, skill-, time-, authority-, management
directive- point of view - don't install it.
