Canonical has partnered with Oracle to further the principles of OpenStack interoperability, quality, openness and customer choice – all principles which Oracle, Canonical, its customers, and the OpenStack community value.

No doubt a carefully selected replacement.

Yeah, but he's only stepping down as CEO. Bottom line is that he will retain exactly the same control as before, as the new CEO will have to report to the board, which is still chaired by Ellison.

And 2 co-CEO's: One to mess with Canonical and one to mess with everyone else. We have seen this pattern before: Microsoft and Nokia collaboration--resulting in Microsoft gobbling up Nokia.
