Probably because criticising VMS on El'Reg is considered illegal.

The Veritas filesystem doesn't put the structural files into a set with any names, so normal accesses can't see them. You need to do into a filesystem debugger before you can get at this stuff. I can't see any benefit to linking these things into a normal file name space.
