9i de-supporting end of this July?

Hi List,

I have learnt that Oracle is going to de-support version 9i by end of July. Is that true?
Are there any official announcements?
I don't see anything in the metalink.
If the above is believed to be true, then, its really very short time that Oracle has given.
I feel that in a way, they are forcing everyone to upgrade to 10g.

Any limelight on this?
