"Horses for Courses" really. If I was already using Oracle in a production environment, and needed to install something like SilverStripe, I would prefer to use the DB infrastructure I had in place already. Why install something like MySQL/Postgres when you are already paying through the rectum for Oracle? :P
Granted the market for this is possibly small, especially in NZ (think global! :P), but if you can boast multiple DB support in a commercial environment, it'll make the product more attractive :) Oracle is an amazing Database - just at a price. MySQL (even with the innoDB engine, an Oracle product btw), simply can't compare to Oracles feature set, administration and data security - Then again we're comparing a commercial expensive product, to an open source, free one.
