I got tripped up by looking at the roadmap chart in Doc ID 742060.1. The chart lists the exception of support for HP-UX into 2018 as the rule, but the table below says all others (what most people use) goes away in Jan 2016. The roadmap chart is deceiving.
Release Patching Ends

Notes and Exceptions*


**


11.2.0.4 *31-Jan-2018*
*HP-UX Itanium:* *Patching ends Dec 2020*. Beginning Feb 1, 2018, Sev 1 fixes only (no PSU or CPU will be produced).
*All other platforms:* Extended Support required starting 1-Feb-2016.



The "All others" are NOT the exception, HP-UX is the exception and the roadmap should state that.
