Is there anyone in their right mind that actually thinks that VMS would
have a future without Rdb? On any platform. Of course VSI must have
fairly firm comittments from Oracle that Rdb will be available on
VMS/X86-64.

So no, the availablitly can not be an issue. It must be other things
like maybe the cost.
