As an Oracle DBA I don't like it, but it kind of makes sense.  I doubt they've done any code for OpenVMS since 11gR2 so catching up to Oracle 19 would be a major headache.  I haven't dug deeply, but I do not recall seeing any OpenVMS clients for Oracle RDBMS 12cR1, 12cR2 or 18 or 19.  I'd have to double check. If there was I'm betting it's Itanium only
