I suspect that Oracle aren't overly keen on promoting it. That would mean admitting that, for whatever reason, customers aren't taking up 12.1 as quickly as they'd hoped.
For example, where I'm currently working we support systems whose software vendors only support installations on 10.2.0.5!

@Ed You can set up your oracle.com account to subscribe to various communications. Most of them are marketing spam.
@Gazzag There may be something commercial going on here. Uncle Oracle really wants us to go to the Oracle Cloud. A year or so ago their sales droids were all given new commission structures that basically meant they make virtually nothing from selling on premises licences but heaps for Cloud sales. I heard the other day that Larry's revenue from the Cloud is indeed shooting up, but that hardware and licence sales are dropping through the floor. This announcement may be an attempt to reverse this situation. Or at least, reverse the bad part of it.

Which is why I'm not subscribed. Already, 50% of my daily email is now junk -- and I get a pretty fair amount of internal email that is NOT junk.

Yeah, they were all over us a few months back. Presented themselves as our new account manager, but the ONLY thing they wanted to talk about was the Cloud. All attempts to address other questions was met with "I'm not sure but I'll be sure to find out and get back to you on that." Crickets.
