Nothing was "stopped" but for the last few years OpenBSD/alpha
suffered from a reliability bug ("The Alpha Bug") where all alphas
would sooner or later suffer a mysterious crash--some machines made
it through several make world runs without problem, some would crash
several times during a single make world.

This bug is now gone.  OpenBSD/alpha is reliable again.

Graphics console and X11 support is somewhat limited, but then the
recent X.org 7.2 update also killed X11 on my PC164 under FreeBSD.
