I still have customers with Decnet in production (certain 
medical lab equipment 'just works' and uses the transport); 
until those units die, there will not be sufficient motivation 
on the customers' parts to spend the money to replace it (and 
at that time, a technology refresh will happen as well

eyeglass labs, and colonoscopy testing, primarily

The 'network' for units are physically isolated, and indeed, 
occasionally accessed only via a graphical terminal emulator 
such as VNC, facing into a TCP/IP network on a second 
interface.  No need for updates here
