Imagine if VSI had followed the strategy I suggested those years ago, to
simply get rid of the VMS kernel, keeping just DCL and the userland APIs,
and reimplementing those on top of Linux. So many vistas would be open now

And yet there is still a need for "real" VMS or VSI would never have existed.
