Mailing list freebsd-alpha@freebsd.org is being retired

lack of activity.
If no valid reasons for retaining the list are expressed to
<postm...@freebsd.org> by 09 Nov 2010, the list is subject to
deactivation at any point on or after 10 Nov 2010.
Once that happens, new messages for the list will not be accepted.
Archives of the list will remain available, though folks may need
to be a bit creative in navigating some of the archives maintained
by the FreeBSD project to get to no-longer-current lists. (The
easiest way is probably to access archives by date from
<http://docs.freebsd.org/mail/>.)
If you have any concerns about this, please express them as clearly
as possible to <postm...@freebsd.org> as soon as possible. Please
note that Reply-To has been set on this message for your convenience.
Peace,
david (current hat: postm...@freebsd.org)

All of the PRs assigned to freebsd-alpha@ have been closed or redirected,
so it should be safe to turn off the list w/o orphaning any PRs.

I loaded VMS on my Alpha boxes when the FreeBSD community lost interest in
Alpha. There is still some activity in the VMS Alpha community and the
OS works better.

The OpenBSD developers still generate an Alpha build with each release.
Their latest Release 4.8 builds on both my AlphaStation 255 and my DS10. My
AlphaServer 2100 has hardware issues and won't boot, so can't test OpenBSD.
