This is the thing: what risks apply to Linux that do not apply
to VMS?  Seriously.  Give me an example.

For giggles, let's assume there is one (something something
clustering and distributed disks).  How many of those sorts
of things exist for Linux versus how many exist for VMS?  What
is the ratio?

Too many in this newsgroup (and the mirrored mailing list)
continue to ignore this question, to the hazard of the continued
viability of the software.
