Agreed. Can we update https://www.ntpsec.org/supported-platforms.html to be less specific to avoid having yet another table that we need to update? We can list distros, since that won't change much. > Maybe we want to replace that with "we support the current (and current - 1) > versions of the following platforms/distros as long as they're supported by > upstream"? Or replace this section with a link to docs.ntpsec.org and the CI > system? If you're OK with some variation of this, I'll submit an MR.
