Note that the premise is still that VMS is at a state where
it has everything to make it a viable solution - it makes
the shortlist as I called it 50 posts or so up.

Also note that it is obviously a requirement for VMS success
that when it gets picked it actually works. But I am not so
concerned about that. Why wouldn't it work.
