+
+Following the removal of IA-64 support in the Linux kernel and glibc,
+and subsequent discussions on our mailing list [1], as well as a vote
+by the Gentoo Council [2,3], Gentoo will discontinue all ia64 profiles
+and keywords. The primary reason for this decision is the inability of
+the Gentoo IA-64 team to support this architecture without kernel
+support, glibc support, and a functional development box.
+
+In one month, all ia64 profiles will be removed, all ia64 keywords will
+be dropped from all packages, and all IA-64 related Gentoo bugs will be
+closed.
