Thanks Andrea for the additional clarification. I understand better now.

As for gitbox link, I don't have visibility yet beyond the HEAD which is completely understandable. But I can see the list is long!

Correct.

I assume that the AOO project is not updating the OS2 code.

Wrong (well, kind of...). Yuri Dario is an Apache committer too; and we did incorporate the last changes he did into our source code; and if he contributes further changes, we will probably incorporate them again.

Still, OS/2 is "unsupported" because we cannot guarantee official releases and testing coverage. There are other situations where this could happen. For example, we release ~40 languages but we have partial translations for many more, see https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf?p=openoffice.git;a=tree;f=extras/l10n/source;hb=HEAD and one might want to build and distribute OpenOffice in an "unsupported" language, which eventually can become "supported" if the person contributes back and helps complete the translation.

Regards,
  Andrea.
