Incompetence or bureaucratic bungling is more likely Posted Jul 30, 2010 0:07 UTC (Fri) by felixfix (subscriber, #242) [Link]
Oracle is a huge bureaucracy. I think it far more likely that several layers of that bureaucracy miscommunicated, helped by middle managers who care about nothing but wielding bureaucratic power. Maybe someone looked to save some redundancy, someone else took it as a hint, found three servers doing nothing useful to Oracle, asked what they were, someone else saw a chance to brown nose, and so on down the line.
