Are the documentation and other support web pages (preferably including documentation on the distribution media) available to CL users? In particular, the "migrating from DEC/Compaq/HP products" information? As I recall, there was a bit of a kerfuffle with the first VSI releases because of the change of PAK producer/issuer to VSI when the user had certain other products which were still DEC or 3rd-party.

I'm also interested in how access to patches will be managed in the future- right now it probably isn't relevant as the current VSI releases are far more patch-current than the HPaquital releases current hobbyists are running.
