Indeed, one of the labs being CERN, we still have a CERN version for ia64 available at: http://linuxsoft.cern.ch/cern/slc4X/ (currently this is SLC4.6) .. this receives all the regular updates and will continue to exist for still some time (until SL(C)4 support is stopped at CERN - not anytime soon ;-)) As for the version 5 ... for time being we do not plan to use it in immediate future on ia64 .. so I do not think we will provide it for SL community either ...
