AYE AYE to that !
Running 7.3.4, 8.0.4, 8.1.7.2 to 8.1.7.4, 9.2.0.2 to 9.2.0.5
on Windows, Linux, HP-UX, Solaris, Tru64, AIX,
and with database links all across.
Upgrading databases can be difficult and there must be *COMPELLING*
reason to upgrade.
No plans to run 10g until it goes to 10gRelease2 Patchset1 -- and then
only for new databases first.
Also the argument that "it is difficult to manage a mix of
versions" doesn't really cut any ice with
me when you have DBAs who prefer command-line over OEM. {as
it is we already have a mix
of platforms !}
The usual "no new patches below 9.2.0.6" reason isn't good
enough to update to the latest version / patchset.

I will gladly run 9205 until some act makes me change it, "new"
and "potential security hole" is not a good enough reason for
me to chagne anything.
I would have gladly stayed on 7.3.4.5 and 8.1.7.4 until I was told to get
off.
