We got the "see figure one" from VMS engineering saying "SYSMAN STARTUP is great and if you just keep repeating that yourself, you'll eventually believe it".  Feh.  We stood together in solidarity and walked away.

It could always be replaced with something much more universally loved
and respected such as a port of systemd. :-)

Actually, the VMS startup procedures _could_ benefit from a much more
modular approach. Even the Unix init scripts approach is much more
modular and maintainable than what VMS currently offers.
