Support for Oracle Streams after 11g R2

Question

I am looking for information about Oracle's plans for Streams (a data replication technology) going forward. Will this continue to be supported in future releases?

Right now I only have this brief reference :

It sounds like you are asking about Oracle's Statement of Direction for GoldenGate . Specifically, the section on the future of Streams

Oracle Streams continues to be supported but will not be enhanced to support any new database features in future releases. This means that Streams will continue to support exactly what it supports today (11.2) in future releases. It also means that any new database features, data types, or capabilities will not be supported by Streams. Customers who want to take advantage of the new data types and features will need to license Oracle GoldenGate.
