Hi Martin,

So how will it work; will the patchdiag fetched by non-Extended
Support Customers continue to list patches issued during Extended
Support giving visibility of them but without not entitlement to
get without having triggered the Extended Support uplift escalator?

Doing a pca -l missingrs  there's nothing aged under 100 days; just
the usual historic list of native zone h/w patches that shouldn't be
installed in a S10 zone on S11.  From just a quick eyeball, I didn't
notice anything recent other than Studio 12.3 & 12.4 patches.

I spoke to sales yesterday.  They're clearly under instruction to
push cloud whether they privately believe it's right for Oracle in a
way that it wasn't right for Cisco, or otherwise.
