Excuse me? Why are you so =sure= about Debian cutting Alpha support? I
won't even go into why I *know* alpha won't be going away from Debian for
quite awhile, but will say that the fact that we support m68k still is
fairly telling...

So, let me get this straight, according to your comments, two of the three
major Alpha distributions of Linux will be dropping support and you're
saying that we need new motherboards? Putting the cart before the
proverbial horse a bit, aren't we? If there isn't a dist to run on any
new boards, what makes you think that they'll sell?
