You and the rest of VSI *need* to use what most customers are using now 
or soon will be using if/when changes are planned.

That won't be LK461 keyboards.   Not unless y'all are getting into that 
production business.

OpenVMS *needs* to work effectively with the hardware the users are 
using, and not with a sixteen-year-old and out-of-production custom 
keyboard.

Or more succinctly, "dogfooding".
