GRUB 2 for DEC Alpha?

Hi,

I learned today that GRUB 2 aims to be cross platform and already
supports in some form PPC.

Is there any interest in supporting the DEC Alpha (SRM) platform?

According to the Current Status [*] page, BSD partition maps are
already supported, so maybe the only thing to be done is the
SRM-specific code?

Alpha users currently use the long unmaintained aboot bootloader.
Possibly code could be reused from aboot.

Thanks,

Matt Turner
