Some interesting comments about metalink
I got an email from oracle-l today. The title is “Metalink is down, isn’t it? Or it is just on my side … “
Many people joined this interesting thread and gave their comments. Here are some interesting ones:
Is it possible that Oracle “outsourced” Metalink to Microsoft ? Geez…I am
all excited about the data conversion from Oracle to SQLServer 
Oracle should let Google index metalink, then we’d at least be able to
access the notes and bug descriptions from its cache. And the search would
be *a bit* more accurate…
Discounts???? Please?
Interesting – Metalink was down on 8/29 last year too:

Is it Larry’s birthday or something like that so somebody keeps hacking
it on this date? Let the conspiracy theories fly
My bet is on an errant cronjob…

God just called me on my holy mobile and told the real truth
Oracle did usage of the new Scheduler instead of DMBS_JOB
Metalink is probably not running on RAC. As we know running your Database on RAC makes your application highly available. I wonder why metalink is not running on RAC.
