The most important thing, by far, in getting open source work to happen
on VMS is getting the x86-64 port out and working. With that, people can
run VMS on commonplace hardware. 

Emulation is slow and unsatisfying to someone who is new to VMS. Alpha
machines are rare and old, and Itanium became a bad joke outside the VMS
community.
