I have seen later versions of the listener find instances on the box and
automatically listen for them on port 1521. I don't remember the exact
version that this start happening since I'm not good at remembering these
kinds of facts. What appears to be happening is the spread of the Microsoft
philosophy of "Oh here. Let us HELP you with that ... whether you like or
not."
The reason we use a listener to match the version of the database is that,
around here, Murphy has a B-I-G desk, in a corner office, and he works 24
hours per day, 7 days per week.
