Sorry. That was my cat. She seems to like my VAXStation 4000/60, and 
prefers sitting on it to the UltraSPARC, the Cobalt, the T/S 2068, or the 
Amiga, but not my keyboard (particularly while I'm typing on it).

I think she was trying to say that if it works, keep it. Or something like 
that.

That mirrors my feelings on this matter. No matter how slow it gets, 
maintaining VAX in the NetBSD tree will always have benefits. For one, if 
it works on a VAX, then that means we're doing not just something right, 
but LOTS right. There's hardly all that much code out there which is 
correct enough to run so many places.

The hardware is completely solid. If NetBSD gets to a state where the OS 
NEVER crashes on VAX hardware, I will be very pleased. As it is, I have 
run DNS and backup email on one of my VAXen with uptimes of up to a year. 
There's value there.

Just my two... just my thoughts.
