The deal is this (if you find your way between the parenthesis): I talked to Wilko prior to the DevSummit and told him that since it was on my plate (because I stupidly made some commits to get things rolling; which it did, but not much more than rolling on my plate :-) and support is almost finished (I looked at it this weekend and it appears that upcalls work, there's probably something wrong with the context save/restore code) and I needed to fix ia64 as which (already done) I likely would fix Alpha in one big swoop. At the DevSummit we failed to reach agreement that alpha should be dropped to a tier 2 platform, but we did acknowledge that alpha needs developers pronto. There it was also agreed that I would enter a holding pattern (which roughly boils down to me circling between home, work and Starbucks) until either someone fixes KSE or my weakness shows and I do it anyway (the fact that I looked at it this weekend means that I was pretty close to folding -- I made it to Starbucks just in time). I also mentioned recently (in the last couple of days) that we should worry more about sparc64 than alpha. Simply because I think alpha is on it's way down and should already be a tier 2 platform and sparc64 is still on its way up ... sort of. -- Marcel Moolenaar USPA: A-39004 marcel@xcllnt.net
