Well, one of the bugs is platform-specific, and only occurs on AIX 5L. But in my opinion AIX isn't that "rare" enough so it doesn't need proper testing ... There are still a lot of AIX database servers out there. Maybe Oracle is more focusing on Linux and Windows though. It could also be that no one is using Data Pump yet ... since the good old "exp" works fine out of the box ...

Another thing I found out today : the metric for "Open Cursors" isn't correct - got it confirmed as a bug. Oracle's solution : disable the metric ...
