There are like two remaining Alpha users and we most likely won't gain
any new ones in the foreseeable future. Though we are compiling releases
according to jhb it isn't even clear they actually work on Alpha.  It's
not actively maintained anymore.  It really has left the building and there
is no point in advertising it on our homepage instead of on some random
tombstone somewhere out in the past architectures graveyard.
