I don't think we need complex categories here (especially because with

If AOo were the typical Apache Software Foundation project, then that
would be both reasonable, expected, and understandable by those who
utilize the software.
But AOo is atypical of ASF projects, in that it is consumer oriented. As
such, the user base neither knows, nor expects that "supported" even
remotely implies "can be built from source".
+1. I also think that the end-users have a special interest to see and
know how complete the support-level is for her/his language, platform, etc.
I'd propose the README state:
«
Can be built from source code:
* BSD;
* Windows 10;
* Windows 9x;
* Mac OS X;
* Linux;
* etc;
Binaries are available for:
* Linux (Debian: 64 bit);
* Linux (RPM: 64 bit);
* Windows (64 bit);
* Mac OS X;
* etc;
»
For the source code Readme it's for sure enough. However, I don't know
if it should be just for the this Readme.
