Have we ever even claimed to support VMS? I have no particular desire
to undertake a major new porting effort.

It could be interesting to see how big a porting effort it was ... ?
I'd say go for it and let's see what is involved ...

PostgreSQL uses fork(), which is not supported on OpenVMS. However,

All,
In my 12 years on the PostgreSQL project, this is the 2nd time, ever,
I've heard a question about OpenVMS support. The previous time was in 2003.
Maybe there's an untapped community out there, but personally I think
we'd find more users on z/OS than on OpenVMS.

Well, a search of our archives for OpenVMS finds a few more, but it
still looks like about one request a year.
