Olimex are historically terrible and contributing anything to the upstream projects and as a result are generally considered as "community supported" devices which ends up being either someone does the work to get the required bits upstream or someone hacks together something that works enough for them and it never ends up being more widely supported. All the userspace pieces should work just fine, it should even be possible to get accelerated open graphics via the lima driver although I've not had time to test that on any of the Allwinner devices I have.
