That is not true at all. :-)

Kednos is no more. However, the IP is still alive and updates to the
Alpha compiler will be available by July. An Itanium port is alive.
However, that is likely to be an intermediate and unreleased port
in the path to x86-64.

There is a port to retarget to LLVM for a Linux and Windows x86-64
targeted port. This is based on the Tru64 compiler which is a
full-ANSI compiler.
