Funnily enough, OEL6 is excluded from the certified list of Linux distributions hence no, it is not a good idea to install it and then expect Oracle to support it even though RedHat has submitted it for certification in August 2011.

RHEL/OEL 6 has been out for ages now, the only obvious thing is merge with Sun must have given them an other OS to push instead of Oracle.
