We will have serious interruptions in service. Yes I can believe this. Do you really want Oracle to modify core parts of the system quickly and on a one-off basis. Would the resulting db be upgradeable to 9206 or to 10? Are you confident that the testing of a one off pack is as thorough as the testing for a patchset for all customers and all platforms? In the meantime the 2 available workarounds appear clear. 1. Don't use RAC. 2. Use windows not *nix. :( One of these workarounds may make more sense than the other....
