[Info-vax] Comment on the future of OpenVMS

[JF Mezei]

If you are B, and you don't like A, and you know that C will be killing
A, it is to your advantage to publically be nice to A. This way, when C
kills A, you don't get blamed for A's death.


Translation: If Oracle knows that HP is letting go of VMS, it can afford
to appear to publically support VMS since it will help its image and
cost it nothing, while HP will be blamed for VMS' death.
