Well, if they're sane enough to fix this (not requiring the opening of a "formal service case") for all hardware bought before March 16th....
I suppose we will be able to judge the likelihood of their success by if, how and how quickly they fix this.
It's the enterprise sales model, where software contracts are measured in megabucks, because to do anything cheaper would be more expensive than the cost of sales. I think relying on anything from Sun that Oracle can likely find a way to charge for would be foolish, unless you're big enough to afford those kinds of costs.
