I think the list is missing some important platforms which we do support (looking at configure):
* Linux on 32-bit ARM platforms, e.g. for Raspberry Pis * Linux on Android * AIX * Cygwin * NetBSD/OpenBSD * musl instead of glibc for Linux, e.g. for Alpine images In general, I believe we should add a 4th tier for platforms supported by interested parties outside the core team. Those would be supported on a best effort basis by the parties and we'd point to the teams for support. Some of the above platforms would likely have to go into this tier. It would also be nice to add a column to the table which shows the platforms for which binaries are built during the release and which are source only. At the moment, only Windows and macOS platforms have official binaries.
