Well, a lot of us have one collecting dust in the closet (or acting as
a stand for a Power Mac...) but I don't know that RH itself has any
Alphas.
And Red Hat shouldn't be the de-facto provider of your secondary hardware.
Part of the point here is that if we're going ot have these arches, there is
going to need to be a community keeping them going. The work and burden
shouldn't always fall back on Red Hat as it has in the past. We don't want
to be like the other distros that are pooping out arch support just so that
they can list something else on their webpage. If we're going to have an
arch, it needs to be a viable and active community who will be self
sufficient. We're providing the tools and software infrastructure to make
their arch happen, but they need to bring people and machines.
