What has Oracle to do with SPEC?
These are vendor independent benchmarks, last time I checked.

I think it is more likely that the next battle will be over Oracle
not accepting the judge's current ruling. And rightfully so.
While it is understandable that Oracle is obliged to maintain
current products, I find it weird to try to "force" them
to offer also future DB versions for a platform which is no longer
viable.
