That's right.  It might be Oracle dropped the "Unbreakable" soon after Red Hat
started a PR stunt talking about "Unfakeable Linux"

I've also heard both rumours and some stories from multiple sources of
customers switching from Red Hat support contracts to Oracle Linux for their
support agreement ... and then going back to Red Hat as the quality Oracle
provided on their support was not worth the (cheaper) money.
