... is "(frontend)" here (also on entries further down) really useful?
Same for "host side" and "(backend)" then further down.

Also would it perhaps make sense to sort multiple OS entries by
some criteria (name, support status, ...)? Just like we ask that
new source files have #include-s sorted, this helps reduce patch
conflicts when otherwise everyone adds to the end of such lists.

Perhaps a copy-and-paste mistake saying "backend" here?
