Roadmap support Oracle RDBMS 12c R2 (12.2)

Oracle is planning to release Oracle RBDMS 12.2 in the first half year of 2016. What is the planning/roadmap for Cognos (and from which version) to support Oracle RDBMS 12c R2 (12.2).

I've already contacted Technical support. The answer/suggestion was:
=======================================================
I have been researching this over the past couple of days. I spoke to a senior analyst and we both believe that we will be supporting this Oracle release as soon as possible, because it is one of the most used databases.

To get an official, concrete answer though, the best way is to log an RFE. This is a direct line to developers for customers, and often receives answers quicker than if we logged an internal information request: https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/
