48 Our Recommendation! Production April July October January April Oracle recommends that customers stay current with Updates Minimize the chance of encountering known bugs and security vulnerabilities Reduce the likelihood of requiring separate interim one-off patches or merge patches Customers in a stable state may choose to be conservative and adopt revisions Security and regression fixes will be current Functional and performance fixes will lag behind updates by 3 or 6 months Higher chance of hitting known issues that are already fixed in a more recent update Copyright 2018, Oracle and/or its affiliates.
