The only ones I can think of -

Oracle7 Backup Utility EBU
svrmgr (svrmgrl)
Context
Multi-dimension system
RBO All have been replaced by (IMO) far superior mechanisms:

EBU replaced by RMAN in 8.x
svrmgrl replaced by SQLPLUS using AS SQLDBA Context replaced by Intermedia Text (8.x) and Oracle Text (9.x) MDS replaced by Intermedia Locator and Spatial RBO replaced by CBO (in process in 8.x, 9,x) finally with 10g)

Then there is the plethora of '7.x can not do this' features that have vanished with 8.x and 9.x. Examples include Relational Objects, Java, Bit Map indexes, Partitioning, RAC, Analytics, etc.

Aside from that, each version of Oracle (since 8.0 at least) has a "New Features" document that describes the most significant changes. The documents are, of course, publically available at http://docs.oracle.com Using that, I'm sure you could extract and publish a list.
