The Linux kernel's port to the DEC Alpha processors remains alive over 30 years after these processors first appeared.

Sent out yesterday was a pull request for the DEC Alpha code with the sole change of introducing another maintainer for the Alpha port. That change is now merged for Linux 6.18 with having another recognized maintainer of the Alpha code within the Linux kernel.
