That's a pretty pliable definition of "depend on" regarding VMS, since
there is literally no dependency on X11 within VMS.

Yeah, if you want a non-character cell interface, then X11 is the only option
on VMS, but to claim a dependency is a bit much.  Even then, your X11 experience 
will be using a lot of DECterm windows most of the time.
