You do not need to support every platform. Just allow your users to use them.

If something breaks downstream on a certain platform, distribution maintainers 
are usually happy to send patches to fix these issues.

I think I can speak for myself here and many of my colleagues at SUSE, my 
fellow Debian Developers and the guys over at Gentoo who have also lots of 
talented folk who keep sending fixes for many upstream projects.

My colleague Andreas, for example, has contributed multiple fixes in cpython on 
m68k:
