Here is the trick question: Can you enumerate all known
compatible devices, and tell whether they are operational,
without having access to them? Can you tell how to determine the
devices' capabilities or limits in advance, and how they may or
may not identify themselves? That may answer the question whether
the project is able to provide the support out of the box for
devices they don't know about in the first place ... :)

Which means that it does take the users' reports of their
existance and whether they work, before support can be claimed.
Also users participating in wiki updates is required, if users
want the information to be available, and up-to-date. Waiting for
somebody else to do it all (and do stuff they don't even know
about) won't result in much progress.
