I've been lurking on the list for a few days now and haven't seen any
discussion of this.  The status page on the freebsd.org server just says:

  The alpha port status page has been removed now that the port has
  progressed to the stage that anything not in proper working order can
  be treated as a bug instead of work-in-progress. 

So the question I'm asking is whether the aplha kernel developers feel the
alpha port is stable enough to "bet the farm on".  I run a website on
which we expect to see 5-10 million hits/day (spread amongst several
servers) with database access, cgi scripts with some sql lookups - a very
dynamic site.  I need the same kind of triple digit uptimes I'm used to
with FreeBSD and other unices.

Is the alpha port at this stage yet, or am I safer sticking to x86 for the
time being?

Thanks,

--- David Miller
