I'm pretty sure that postgres hasn't run correctly under concurrency on alpha for a long while. The lax cache coherency makes developing concurrent code hard. Since there are rarely, if ever, people testing postgres on alpha under load it's nigh on impossible to verify anything. Having to adhere to a more complicated memory model than for any other architecture isn't worth it, since there barely are users.
