From 11.2.0.2.5, oracle don't support ADJUST SCN any more

Today, after incomplete recovery and opened a DB, i decided to increasing SCN for the DB.
I set "_allow_error_simulation=true", and use:

alter session set events 'IMMEDIATE trace name adjust_scn level 4490';
ALTER SESSION SET EVENTS '10015 TRACE NAME ADJUST_SCN LEVEL 4490';
at open/mount state for serveral times, but the SCN didn't get changed!

The alert.log shew that oracle even didn't try to turn the SCN.
Very wiered.

Then i decide to try "_minimum_giga_scn" once, i added "_minimum_giga_scn=7000" into init.ora and then startup the DB:

SYS @ apci > startup
ORA-01078: failure in processing system parameters
LRM-00101: unknown parameter name '_minimum_giga_scn'

Kidding? I removed the parameter and again i can startup DB normal.
Let's query the hidden parameter:

SYS @ apci > select ksppinm from x$ksppi where ksppinm like '%giga%';
no rows selected

Let's check different version databases:
10.2.0.4, no problem as we expected:
SYS @ 10gDB> select ksppinm from x$ksppi where ksppinm like '%giga%';
KSPPINM
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
_minimum_giga_scn

11.2.0.2.4, parameter still there:
SYS @ XXDB >select ksppinm from x$ksppi where ksppinm like '%giga%';
KSPPINM
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
_minimum_giga_scn

11.2.0.2.5, from this version the parameter disapper:
SQL>  select ksppinm from x$ksppi where ksppinm like '%giga%';
no rows selected

11.2.0.2.6:
SYS @ DB1 > select ksppinm from x$ksppi where ksppinm like '%giga%';
no rows selected

11.2.0.3:
SYS @ DB2 > select ksppinm from x$ksppi where ksppinm like '%giga%';
no rows selected

We can see oracle remove the ADJUST SCN function since 11.2.0.2.5, so we can't use oracle's function to adjust SCN in future.
In there any alternative way?

Yes, we can do first increasing the checkpoint_change# value in datafile header block to a appopraite value, and then re-create controlfile.
So the new controlfile will read our new value as current SCN.

Below is the step:

SYS @ test8 > select current_scn from v$database;
CURRENT_SCN
