Premier support ended July 2010, everyone had access to extended support
through July 2011. At this point, if you continue to pay for extended support,
you will have access to all 10.2 patches issued through the time that you quit
paying the extra 20% for extended support or extended support ends in July
2013. If you do not pay for extended support (but continue to pay the premier
support fee), you are on sustaining support. During the extended support
period, sustaining support only gives access to patches issued during the
premier support period, i.e. through July 2010 (I still have access to patches
released through July 2011, so it appears that Oracle is letting us continue to
have access to the patches issued in the free year, so it seems Oracle is
giving us access to more than indicated in the support documents). Once
extended support ends, people on sustaining support have access to patches
issued during both the premier and extended support periods, i.e. all patches
for 10.2 issued though July 2013.
