OK so two exclamation marks probably wasn't enough to convey my sarcasm/irony. I do agree with Robert's remarks below, which somewhat echo Oracle's arguments when they were explaining why they broke shell scripts that had been working for many years. I realize that there are some old parts of the suite that may not yet follow the new standard (IIRC opmn doesn't for example and neither I think does warehouse builder) but I don't see any reason at all why a *new* facility shouldn't have its logging and tracing infrastructure mandated as part of the design. (actually I think retrofitting the old components and enhancing adrci for them would be a good plan as well, but probably not one that sores highly on the marketing bumf).
