IT truths.

When something is going to fail spectacularly we call it a cloud so when it fails we can say it is having a storm or "cloud burst."

When something is going to be non-robust we OpenSource it.

When something is going to have all the security and hardening of toilet paper we put it on x86.

None of these truths should _ever_ be allowed to happen to VMS.

We should drop the Open from the name too.
