And here, you can add something like "Has Oracle improved this feature? 
Have they eliminated the need to reconstruct all the metadata before 
restoring an E backup? If so, could you be so kind as to point me 
towards the new manuals that describe this so I can learn how these new 
features work?"

Stuff like that.
