Yes, a decision was obviously made. And ?

Don't blame VMS engineering if they have been deprived by HP of
sufficient resources to finish IPsec. Blame HP.

You complain to HP, they will guide you towards HP-UX which probably has
IPsec.


Look, HP isn't going to come right out and announce the end of the line
for VMS. Doing so would aleniate customers and reduce the chance of HP
retaining customers by moving them to HP-Windows, HP-Linux, HP-UX.

Their strategy appears to slow down VMS development which helps
customers get that nudge to move off VMS, but without much anger towards
HP which makes it easier for HP to make a pitch to move them to another
HP product.
