Completely agree with your reading Hans, but I read it as, "Oracle Database
Standard Edition 2 delivers unprecedented ease of use, power, and
performance for blah, blah, and Web applications."
A web application, to me, is couple of application servers, with a
database back end that is protected in some way (RAC, data guard, or
scripted equiv)
And since the SE2 license could cover a reasonably priced server with 16
cores, 512gb ram and 24 ssd's, it could run a pretty big web application.
And besides, does it matter what oracle marketing says it is for, the only
thing that matters is what the license is valid for.
We use oracle Standard One for plenty of systems, and do really like to
here other people in the community giving their view.
When I pointed out the removal of Oracle SE One, our director said to 'spin
up a PostgreSQL db and lets have a look at that'
I love the oracle database and didn't like the sound of that.

From the Licensing doc at
http://docs.oracle.com/database/121/DBLIC/editions.htm#DBLIC110
"Oracle Database Standard Edition 2 delivers unprecedented ease of use,
power, and performance for workgroup, department-level, and Web
applications."
I have not seen many workgroups with rack servers (unless enclosed in
something like http://www.kellsystems.com/). Just my personal experience
... YMMV. Since they introduced SE1, I'd assumed the idea was to provide
an environment to support workstations such as Dell Precision T5500s.
