Not a "honeymoon" issue, just that Linux progresses much faster than most product vendors are used to. If you look at the number of O/S and distro releases on Linux systems compared to, say, Solaris or HP-UX it's about 5-10x higher. The folks are Oracle simply aren't used to qualifying their product that often -- and may consider RH 7.X to be a generic platform.
