Perhaps. Perhaps at VSI. But not at some place where VMS is
already at stake and every additional little "thing" that make
VMS stand out as "troublesome" will push it closer to the door.

We, who manage VMS in these environments must make watever we
can to play along in the IT mainstream.

Pointing at VSI and claimning that a 16 year old LK461 works
well *there*, doesn't help much.
