Although I hate Oracle with a fury, one good thing is that they put all the updates they rebuild for their RHEL clone in a publicly viewable site. I'm guessing they pay Redhat for extended support on end of life RHEL4 to get access to the source rpms. I learned about this from another list member back when the bash shell shock exploit hit.
