I agree with the general sentiment, but it can get prohibitive if you also
have a sizable DEV/QA/STG environment that you want to have the same as
PRD.
I don't mind gold-plated support for PRD, but for the rest, it'd be handy
budget-wise if Oracle simply had a basic parts-only warranty for hardware,
and a patches-only support for software. It's all we need for the majority
of our environment, but it no longer seems available under Larry Ellison's
watch.
