We should only add those if we are willing to support Oracle Linux.
Otherwise we could just make a footnote somewhere saying that they should
work there too, but are not supported. At least my understanding is that we
do fully support RHEL+CentOS+SL+Fedora. If we can equally well support
Oracle it should be added to that list, if not it should be added some
other way. But if the RPMs do work, I agree it's probably a good idea to at
least mention it.
