I think it would not hurt to have a few boxes running -current 
accesible via the Net. Most -alpha folk don't run -current as the
Alpha port is very often broken as a 'by product' of x86 developments.
That makes -current/Alpha often a frustrating place to be.

And this is one of the main frustrations for David if I am not mistaken.
