The community consensus I recall was three versions only. Anything beyond
that would be up to the vendors.

Mind you, I don't know what EDB guarentees but the Sun folks could end up
patching everything back to 8.1 for the next 5 years depending on customer
demand. So I think 5 years will be a reality for us for the conceivable
future.
