The ES40 I've got sitting in the corner waiting for a rainy day just
died a little inside. (HP was also kind enough to donate unlimited
Tru64 media/licenses a while back.) As for whether or not it should
be a platform CPython cares about -- I'd argue it falls in the same
boat as IRIX/MIPS: not so much. I'll be damned if Snakebite doesn't
have Tru64/Alpha representation though :-)
OpenVMS is an interesting one though; it's still actively supported
by HP on Itanium. I've got an Itanium earmarked marked for OpenVMS
"for an even rainier day", but I wouldn't know OpenVMS is it smacked
me in the head, so, not a high priority at the moment.
