it would seem to me that this would break things. the only two users Oracle
can be sure are there are SYS and SYSTEM, just like the only tablespace it
can be sure is there is the SYSTEM one. and what about running catalog and
such? i think there are two many possibilities for things to break for me
to be comfortable with this one.
