At the risk of stating the obvious... Absent those entities supporting 
insurrection, sedition, or coup, or those entities involved with 
activities considered illegal, approximately everybody hosting their 
services on commercial hosting providers is fine. If an entity is 
involved with or associated with insurrection, sedition, coup, illegal 
activities, or suchlike, expect there'll be some pushback.

For those that want to rehost your existing instances on AWS or 
elsewhere, that's certainly worth consideration. I suspect interest in 
re-hosting on an OpenVMS cluster will thin when the quotes and the 
detailed project specs and timeline arrive at the customer for 
consideration. Particularly prior to the OpenVMS x86-64 port.

Bob was a strong supporter of the outgoing US President and his 
policies and activities during the 2016 election. Prolly still a 
proponent of the outgoing US President.

Bob was then a proponent of re-hosting voting machines over onto 
OpenVMS back around 2016, too.  Seemingly uninterested in information 
on election auditing and related voting-assurance activities (had sent 
along various pointers, too), nor interested in seL4 or other product 
alternatives that have targeted high-assurance and embedded 
environments.
