    We sort of have a museum of old computers, including a VAX which runs NetBSD. I am curious what the difficulties are keeping a modern kernel for an obsolete CPU, given a stable abstraction layer.

    Debian discontinued official Alpha support several years ago, but it appears some volunteers are doing best-effort maintenance.
