Absolutely! It is, after all, deadwood -- and given that it's broadly resistant to Oracle's management-by-asphyxiation, it will likely be there for quite some time to come...



Can confirm, although the asphyxiation often comes from a level or two up.


What do you mean by "Oracle's management-by-asphyxiation"?

"Too big to fail" usually involves outsiders (government) propping up companies. (Think GM or Bank of America) I don't think the government is propping up Oracle.
