Yeah, at one point, alpha at least was kept pretty well up to date in
the mainstream kernel. But since Linus went to Transmeta, he stopped
using his Alpha, and the non-x86 ports definitely became second class
citizens again. DaveM ensures that sparc64 stays reasonably current,
and IBM are keeping s390 in sync pretty well, but it was definitely
better in the past. Ho hum. Such is progress...
