Top tier (the one we can't break): * Latest CentOS (6.0) * Latest Ubuntu LTS (10.04) * Latest OpenSUSE (11.4) * Latest Fedora (15) 2nd tier (the ones without enough interest to be in the top tier, but enough volunteers to maintain it): * Latest Mageia (I volunteer to maintain it) The top tier means we can't check in any patch that will break any of these OSes. It also means we can't upgrade a component of BigTop if that component cannot be built on any of these OSes. Regarding the 2nd tier, it means not having a build is not a blocker for a release and it is fine to have a commit breaking Mageia's support. Although it does not mean we should break it on purpose either. The more time I spend fixing Mageia, the less time I spend on other things. B.
