Yeah, in BBC Doublespeak, as we all know, “not supported” actually means 
“prohibited, and we’ll take legal action if we have to”.

For example:

“stealing office stationery is not supported”
“the BBC currently offers no support for talent wishing to swear like a navvy 
on-air”
“punching presenters in the face is not a supported use-case for production 
staff”

…this is the same world in which “content management” means “DRM”, and “TLD” 
stands for “top-level directory”, after all.

I blame John Birt.
