   Qbus VAXen, like the 4000 series, are still supported, although 8.4
   testing probably won't include VAXen.  Maybe those VAX busses weren't
   the best choice of examples.

   The point, however, is that there are model to model differences that
   the VMS kernel knows about, and VMS releases had better be tested
   across all supported models, even if they are have just Alpha or IA-64
   CPUs.
