Gerald,

 From some of your posts it appears you're interested in seeing VSI 
continue to develop for VAX, Alpha, and itanic.  If so, then you're 
going to be disappointed.  All three of those are basically dead 
products.  x86 is the beginning of the future.

Without being John, I can still pretty much guarantee you that you will 
not see LLVM on VAX, Alpha, or itanic from VSI.

While there are multiple reasons, the main reason is that VSI is 
leverging x86 work on LLVM for VMS usage.  As far as I know, there is no 
LLVM already on itanic.  Thus, VSI would have to develop the entire 
compiler tool chain, and, that just isn't going to happen.
