Though I may agree with some of Max's philosophical points, I do not believe that Oracle should be deleted for those reasons.  If Oracle no longer support the maintenance of their module, delete it.  If they sue Mozilla & Co., delete it.  But the fact is, Oracle support is nice.  It keeps Bugzilla from becoming intertwined with a single DB provider and keeps us flexible.  It also gives large companies the ability to use Bugzilla - MySQL would get a big "n. o." in many places, but Oracle supports makes Bugzilla look 'grown up' in the eyes of the PHB.
