I agree. This is especially true for the VAX-Alpha transition because it
happened at the same time as many layered products were abandonned and
not ported. Having a transparent way to move to Alpha with those
packages would have helped, even if performance wouldn't have been
stellar in emulated mode.
For Alpha-IA64 transition, I am aware of only All-IN-1 which was not
ported. Were there others ?
