Anything not in this list may "happen to work" but WMF Engineering
will not
spend resources (read, developer time) on it.
Someting to take into account is that developer teams of browsers not
in Wikimedia's "Tier 1" might be interested in driving the tests
themselves, as part of their productization work. Think of Opera,
Windows Phone, Blackberry, Series 40... Wikipedia is a top global site
and probably they are already testing their latest version against it.
We could guide them better on what to test and how to find / file /
comment on bugs and contribute patches. Having a regular contact in
each of those teams would be really useful.
Would this be helpful, and fitting in your browser support plans?
Frankly, the rather limited proposed support was a little surprising to
me - I would have expected at least some effort toward supporting
anything in the billions of hits per month. I know Wikimedia is big, and
all that, but that means the support would need to be big as well... and
it also means that what Quim Gil puts forward here may well be plausible.
I dunno, perhaps I'm just biased because none of the browsers I use even
made the list, but different browsers can support different hardware
very differently...
