Name one DOS program that needs this for VDS support.  Otherwise it's 
simply a meaningless feature checkoff list point.  Do you understand how 
completely esoteric and removed from actual DOS reality a discussion of 
internal memory remapping within the scope of VDS behavior really is?  VDS 
is a soft standard that was never supported all that well, violated by 
hardware and software products even when MS-DOS was a far more common 
operating system.

I could list you a dozen points of behavior actually noticeable to 
end-users that differ between MS-DOS and FreeDOS.
