Disquiet about silly old things brings it to attention rather than being ignored for the next smuck to hit their head on it

Sort of akin to the squeaky wheel getting the grease

VMS had got a lot of catching up to do and I think it's great to hear about how other OS's have surged ahead while VMS has been sleeping because it helps set the bar for how high VMS needs to jump

Hearing some of the loud snoring that goes on within the belly of the OS also serves as a reminder that the only way forward is to embrace beneficial change

Can't say I can recall any rant of his about the shortcomings of VMS that weren't true and called for either
