Oracle as the DB back-end for MW is still being supported, however as i
am probably the only developer working on it and as this year has been a
lot busier than usual for me i've fallen behind in managing these bugs.

I haven't seen any mention of Oracle since 1.17.
I've hit several showstopper bugs in the installer which makes me wonder if
Oracle support is still being worked on. I realize it's beta, but these
are "you can't get past the installer using Oracle" types of things.
Examples
are bugs 41063 and 41146 which I filed this week. .
I'm not asking about those bugs per se, but rather an overall question - is
Oracle support still being actively developed or has it fallen to the
wayside? If it's no longer really being worked on, cool, I'll switch
gears...if it is, then I'll wait on the bugs.
Hopefully this doesn't come off as whinging - just asking overall about
Oracle support for MW.
Thanks!
