[HECnet] discontinuance of VMS

[Joe Ferraro]

Did anyone see another announcement, separate from the above attached roadmap from Ric Lewis? In his letter, it states:

"We are committed to providing you updates and support for the V8.4 OpenVMS operating environment through at least December 31, 2020." (my italics)

Surely The Register did not base its article on this alone. Its not seemingly unlike HP to publish this type of "at least / until" roadmap for other technologies (e.g. Itanium).
