Indeed, one of the labs being CERN, we still have a CERN version
for ia64 available at:

  http://linuxsoft.cern.ch/cern/slc4X/ (currently this is SLC4.6)

.. this receives all the regular updates and will continue to
exist for still some time (until SL(C)4 support is stopped at
CERN - not anytime soon ;-))

As for the version 5 ... for time being we do not plan to use it
in immediate future on ia64 .. so I do not think we will provide it
for SL community either ...

Our own numbers show only 100-105 ia64 systems running
SLC4 (out of which 95 are our own at CERN ..)
