Hello,

hurd-alpha development stopped several years ago. The project home
page clearly states this: http://hurd-alpha.sourceforge.net/ I was not
aware the project was still listed on any offical d.o pages. You can
safely remove all reference to it.

Chris Chimelis and I were the co-admins/developers of this project. 
Shortly after the Compaq/DEC merger (just before the Compaq/HP merger)
the Alpha was EOL'd. At that point Chris and I decided to stop the
project. I see in the bug report that he is MIA. That's too bad...

Regards,
Ron
