I don't understand - how would it be supported if it didn't work?
What do you mean by "work"? Runs hello world app? At the point we decide to support a new platform it's unlikely that the new platform "works". But if we don't support a platform then we doubtfully will be able to make it running even hello, because each our commit could make the code for that unsupported platform worse and worse. I think if we decide to support a platform then we define a set of tests that must pass on that platform after each commit and we do roll back if they fail. That is how I understand "support" Thanks, Mikhail
