FWIW... As I recall, the 22% of list licensing charged for Oracle support is broken down into 15% for patches, upgrades, etc and 7% for the use of MOS and technical support. So you might be able to maintain the availability of patches and upgrades, but discontinue the use of technical support.

I don't know if they break it out that way anymore; it's not to their advantage to do so.
