Not everyone.

But users of Oracle Classic (as it is usually called in the VMS
world - the rest of the world just calls it Oracle DB) and
Oracle RDB are probably a big chunk of the VMS market.

Based on:
* we have several of such users here in cov/I-V
* HP sued Oracle when Oracle threatened to drop Itanium support
* other anecdotal evidence
