I agree with Chris P , 'Conservatory' system only refers to the way in which Bb4/5 and C5/6 are fingered, or to the mechanism involved in the production of these sounds, that is, by use of the right hand index finger
( there is an extension of this system, which they call in the Loree catalog, Conservatoire 1-2-3 , with which any finger of the right hand, including the pinky -keys of C and C#- , may be used to produce Bb4/5 or C5/6 ).
The term Conservatory has nothing to do with the fact that the oboe has open rings or plateaus, or that the oboe has all the "bells and wistles". In North America they refer to Conservatory System to an oboe with "all the bells and wistles" but historically the development of all these "bells and wistles" have happened in both Thumb Plate System and Conservatory System simultaneously ( the adoption of the Conservatory System by the Paris Conservatoire, did not kill the Thumb Plate System -yet-) .
Regards.
