Our soon-to-be-released roadmap has this to say on "supported platform":
* Currency, i.e. a platform is widely deployed and in current use
* Vendor support
* Available to the dev team, i.e. the dev team have access to a
suitable environment in which to test builds and deal with tickets and
issues
* Dev team ownership, i.e. at least one person on the team is willing
to take some responsibility for a platform
I strongly suggest to add "8 bit chars and 32 bit ints" as an additional
requirement. There is some idea that 16-bit platforms (such as MS-DOS
or Windows prior to the Win32 API) are still supported, but this is
clearly not the case because a lot of bounds checks assume 32-bit ints.
