I suggest you explain what changes would make the docs better (meaing
more useful).

So, if we have a "Compatibility/Translation/Feature Comparison/ ... with other Databases", it would be so cool.
But we don't have this kind of page, so why do we need to mention just one of them ? 

Because people contributed those.
 
Searching on SGML there are 0 mentions to SQL Server and MySQL, but there are almost 50 mentions to Oracle. 
So this is my point, if you don't do the same for others, why do it for Oracle ?

Because people contributed those.
 
And again, I'm not saying that migrations from Oracle are not important, I'm saying migrations from Oracle have the same importance than from MySQL, SQL Server, Mongo, ...

Again, different people at different times felt it was important to contribute patches to the documentation
explaining Oracle differences, or porting, etc. That's why those are in the current docs.

If you're volunteering to add a MySQL, SQL Server, Mongo, etc porting to the docs, I'm sure it could be a
nice addition.
