I don't see "we fixed some of the the excessive performance regressions that we introduced in 3.0". Unfortunate...

What a throwback. afaik Windows Server 2008 R2 had Itanium updates until 2020 and paid support until this year. Pretty good run to say at least
Make you wonder what they've been testing this on. Even NetBSD doesn't have a recent release for Itanium. Crazy that you can run NetBSD 11.0 on HPPA, but not Itanium, given that HPPA is in some sense the pre-cursor to Itanium.
More than likely in "government"; they are always behind and keeping legacy stuff around. I found Windows 1.0 floppies in a drawer, back-in-the-day.
Honestly more HPPA gear to test against than Itanium

A sad day. End of an era *salute*
seems like a versioning-induced death
i think a project like this would slough old architecture like mad and let major versions tick, but they forge on...
