There have been two kinds of events:

1) Microcomputer event.  You have to use a single commonly available
microprocesor, and of course Alpha is included in that.

2) Open event.  You can use anything, on-site or not.

This one was assumed to be of the first type, but it's not, nor is it of the
second type.  We shouldn't be having an open event until next year, since they
are supposed to be every third year.

I don't know why you think that this isn't a huge deal.  It is *clearly* a huge
deal.
