Had to go to the openvms.org web page for a translation :-)

OpenVMS Alpha V6.2 and OpenVMS Alpha V6.2-1HX will move from Prior
Version Support (PVS) with Sustaining Engineering to PVS without
Sustaining Engineering starting 1st May 2014.

So basically, VMS engineering will no longer have resources allocated to
looking at 6.2 for alpha. Is that the correct interpretation ?

So support contracts for 6.2 will include only telephone support but
reporting bugs will ot do anything because they won't be any engineering
resources available ?

Isn't 6.2 circa 1993-1994 ?
