I've mentioned this before but Oracle also only officially supports SUSE and RHAS. Mainly because of the less "variable" (I suppose one could say "fluid") nature of those distros. I can definitely see that point of view.
So, regardless of Gartner's past FUD, this isn't a totally wacky notion.
But if you are going to spend the money required for Oracle, then you should spend the money it takes to run a distribution that guarantees support for Oracle.
If price is an issue, there are OSS alternatives..
