I'm just going by https://vmssoftware.com/about/v9-qa #12,
"Can I cluster VAX 7.3 with OpenVMS x86?"

I wasn't implying that VSI might produce a whole new VAX/VMS
kit, just that if there's going to be supported clustering, most times
in the past with HPaqital it has usually required a "cluster com-
patibility" kit on the older systems. I seem to remember some of
these being listed as "supported" and some "only as a temporary
migration aid".

Whether such a thing is desirable or practical is only known to
VSI. If some customers are migrating from VAX to x86-64 it could
be useful.

I'm aware that there are finite resources being pulled in several
different directions. As I said in the previous paragraph, VSI is
in the best (only) position to know if this is a good use of those
resources.
