I was playing with Oracle 12.2 RAC and have successfully created database:

SQL*Plus: Release 12.2.0.1.0 Production on Mon Aug 28 19:04:48 2017 Copyright (c) 1982, 2016, Oracle. All rights reserved. Connected to: Oracle Database 12c Enterprise Edition Release 12.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production SQL> select inst_id,instance_name,status from gv$instance; INST_ID INSTANCE_NAME STATUS ---------- ---------------- ------------ 1 rac121 OPEN 2 rac122 OPEN SQL>

However, it doesn't say "with real application cluster and partitioning option". Before 12.2, all the included options were included in the banner. Here is the 12.1 version, for comparison:

mgogala@umajor:~$ sql scott/tiger@local SQLcl: Release 17.2.0 Production on Mon Aug 28 19:14:23 2017 Copyright (c) 1982, 2017, Oracle. All rights reserved. Connected to: Oracle Database 12c Enterprise Edition Release 12.1.0.2.0 - 64bit Production With the Partitioning, OLAP, Advanced Analytics and Real Application Testing options SQL>

What's going on? Not that it has any bearing on the DB functionality, RAC works quite nicely, but the strange asceticism of the new 12c R2 banner has attracted my attention.
