I don't see this as a problem. What I want to know, as a user, is
whether the package is supported on some platform. If the author has
declared support, I can expect that it is supported. If the author has
not declared support, it means that the package is not supported -
whether or not the package actually works, or could be made to work.

If the package is not supported on, say, Jython, I can still test
whether it works, and port it if it doesn't.

Martin
