At work (a big Sun/Alpha shop), we figured that was part of the *deal* -
Compaq had to dump the alpha for the deal to go forward.  Keep in mind
this acquisition has been under discussions for *18 months*.

Looks like all the "good" features of the Alpha will end up rolled into
the next revision of Itanium, though.. so it basically *will be* Alpha.
