Jepsen doesn't work through databases in any kind of order as far as I can tell, and they haven't done an analysis of Oracle or many other popular databases. So I wouldn't take that as a representative sample.

RAC clusters are multi-write-master and HA. The drivers know how to fail over between nodes, can continue transactions across a failover and this can work even across major version upgrades.

I wonder if the clause in the Oracle license that prohibits publishing benchmarks and other studies could be to blame for Jepsen having not investigated..?
