And besides, as far as I know, the groups are not that unique
for VMS and non-VMS development today. A lot of the Oracle classic
development that is used on/by VMS is done by non-VMS teams. And
I know that some of the former DEC/Rdb guys are also doing
development for other platforms.

What is needed is a strong cooperation between VSI and Oracle
regarding Rdb. And I'm not particually worried about that...
