I wouldn't be surprised is OpenVMS is going to be a desupported platform soon. If you realize how many options are simply not available for OpenVMS, and how kludgy Oracle implemented and documented OFA, you realize you would better change O/S, if you want to continue Oracle.
The number of customers on the planet might number less than 10.
