Why would you need a new version of VMS whenever a new point release
of the host VM software is released ? The whole point of a VM is to
isolate the OS running under the VM from the underlying hardware/OS.

You test that the VM software is compatible with VMS and then assume
that all future point releases are also compatible. That's the whole
point of a VM.
