I don't think there are anybody but Eric Raymond that know what that
term meant.  I didn't, at least.  From context, it looked like it was
Verylarge Companies or something like it.  (I don't think it could
have meant 'Version Control'.  But the sentence is interesting if read
that way :-)

It isn't in my dictionaries, either.

BTW: I think the reason you didn't get any reply from Eric S Raymond
was that you didn't keep him Cc:'ed, but sent it only to -chat.  He's
not on -chat (and relying on a mailing list reaching somebody is
usually not a good idea - many of us read mailing lists much less
carefully than we read our personal mail.)
