Does dropping Decnet mean the the commercial versions like Redhat and any others that you
pay support for will also lose Decnet?

Okay. I hadn't considered other DEC OSs that don't support TCP/IP.
How prevalent is the use of DEC OSs that don't support TCP/IP?
Could such use cases suffice with a non-current Linux kernel that still includes support
for DECnet?
I'm trying to understand how many installations are actually using DECnet in Linux /
how big the potential problem is / will be.
