I was checking ORACLE-L this morning and found this extremely interesting posting from Carel-Jan Engel
about an interview he had with Ken Jacobs. He said in his post:
"Recently (during OOW/Amsterdam), I had an interview with Dr. DBA Ken Jacobs.
During this hour I asked him abouth this 'monthly' schedule. Ken told me
that there was some miscommunication from PR which resulted in wat I would
call now 'the Monthly Myth'.
He litterally said:
'Monthly is a wild word. [..] I'd rather call it periodic, and it won't be
necessarily a month's update'.
So, don't hold your breath, while waiting......"
Interesting comments from an Oracle insider that we are not likely to see a monthly patch release schedule as originally intended.
