I can give you one business case:
During election observation mission in 2007 an Oracle XE
installation
I've had (just for test) on my FreeBSD notebook saved my
(election) day

this is a
Big Thing(tm).

OUI is difficult to run, it's usually easier to setup a
database without

scripts out there
that perform database creation end-to-end and I think they
should be
included in the port.
