Glad I haven't upgraded yet.

The message has always been that a) clustering with Alpha (but not VAX, 
though it might "just work") would be supported with x86, at least for 
migration, but that that would require a version of VMS from VSI on 
Alpha.  Has that changed, are the rules different for the field test, or 
is the above information wrong?
