Xavier mentioned something about ARM at the users meeting, IIRC
he wanted to resurrect this as a cross-compiler port.
As for Itanic, well .. We (Red Hat) would like to continue the IA64
native port because a small number of our customers demand it. It's a
deeply unpopular platform amongst our developers though, because the
machines are such rare, expensive, slow, heat-generating monsters.
