Given that MyISAM is still their first love, I don't think that outcome
is preposterous at all.  If Oracle tries to squeeze too hard, that's
probably exactly what they'll do.  It'll put a bit of a dent in their
claims to having transaction support, but I think their bread-and-butter
applications are still mostly MyISAM.
