Nah, it was just a style guide for Oxford University's marketing group, not the Oxford University Press style guide.
But it's amazing how people react to this. I favor the oxford comma myself, but can't tell you how many times I've had people angrily strike it out on manuscripts. Personally I don't care if it disappears from some style guide somewhere. I'll still use it: it's a lawful piece of punctuation that generally does no harm and occasionally enhances clarity. Plus, sometimes it enhances the rhythm.
