Ok, done.

VMS is unsupported in 3.3 and the code will be removed in 3.4. If anyone comes with patches to have a working VMS version before Python 3.4, we can support VMS again and just forget the PEP 11 deprecation.

> Would be possible to publish a notice in "python insider" blog?

Sure, but I don't want to write it. Contact Doug Hellmann for that. Marc Andre Lemburg is also volunteer to write such notice.
