> Virtually everything has been dropping support for Alpha, HP/PA, IA64, and the m68k (if it ever had it) for the last few years.

Nah, m68k is one of the most actively developed architectures. It has very active kernel developers and we're soon seeing an official LLVM backend for the architecture coming (search reviews.llvm.org).

Alpha and HPPA are also actively maintained. IA64 is currently hanging a bit on a string, but we're most likely going to save it for the near future.
