Loosing security support, sounds not viable, so if alpha is removed the question what that would do to users (aka performance and does it work/build after the patchset) is still an open question ... Also theres the question about how few people would be affected and what we gain from this? > It is worth mentioning that even Debian hasn't supported Alpha (along > with several other architectures) since release 8.0 in June 2018. I think debian dropped alpha from the officially supported architectures but it seems there is still some inofficial support: https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/ports/12.0/alpha/ thx [...] -- Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB There will always be a question for which you do not know the correct answer.
