For us, the problem with using 18.1.25 (and later 19, 20 if we keep going) is "what changed which might impact the packages using this ?" The big distros have enough users for problems to be noticed and fixes prepared. We don't. As I understand it, downloading from Oracle requires registration, even for db-5. That's why we're using a secondary site for 18.1.25.
