A word should always be used in the common sense.
In free software, supported means that a hardware/software can run,
until anyone can fill a bug report or indicate that it is not supported.
And then people propose patches. This is the common sense of
"supported".
Take the example of smartcards in OpenSC. A lot of them are declared
"supported", but presently only 3 or 4 work very well and are not end of
life.
Again:
* Supported and reviewed by libccid author:
Means that the hardware is supported and carefully reviewed. This is an
indication of quality, but also that the vendor paid money.
* Supported
This is the usual meaning. Here is the R-301-v2.
* Unsupported
The reader did not fully pass the benchmark. There should be an
indication of impact on OpenSC. If a reader is reported to work with
OpenSC, users should know.
