Can anyone with a well-connected crystal ball suggest a timeframe for an IA64 release of CentOS 5? Weeks? Months? Never?

Last mention on centos-qa was Nov. 2007. If there is substantial demand for IA64 (PPC, Sparc, etc.) it is not very evident.

Some inherit it, some have it donated, etc. It's not necessarily an indication of great wealth. -- Joshua Baker-LePain QB3 Shared Cluster Sysadmin UCSF
