Some are on Oracle Linux, which on a few occasions does not have compatibility with how RHEL nor CentOS work despite the similarities and pitches. Patching OEL is more awkward in my experience mostly because of Oracle rather than for any technical reason.

Agreed there. Saw Rhel 5. That's real on prem :(.
