@lukasj Is there a reason for dropping support for Oracle 9 and older? Is it getting in the way of something?
Also, it looks like you are removing Oracle10 too.

see https://www.oracle.com/us/support/library/lsp-tech-chart-069290.pdf

Oracle DB 8 - EOL Dec 2006
Oracle DB 9 - EOL Jul 2010
Oracle DB 10 - EOL Jul 2013
Oracle DB 11 - EOL Dec 2020

Also DB release schedule shows that it can be reasonable to - in master/3.0 - support only version 11 and newer

No, Oracle10 is now the base class - OraclePlatform (which used to be sth like Oracle7Platform or even older). Only 9, 8 and anything older is being removed.
