While I am not a developer and not privy to Theo's thoughts, I did
notice quite a bit of work on the alpha (some developer mentioned the
switch to gcc 3).
On the other hand, there seems to be a 'the alpha bug' around. I don't
think it's solved yet, and it's been around for a long time. Apparently,
it causes random crashes.
