Stepan, that's "HDK runs on the following platforms".
DRLVM guys do not use HDK (correct me here). So, I was expecting to
see: "Harmony (DRLVM) builds and runs on the following platforms".

"Runs" is something more common than "builds", and we want "builds" :)
So, we still mean different things when we say "supported". (not my
fav. word)

Does it make sense to create a separate page for that or enhance the
existing one? Or, maybe, it does not make sense at all? ;o)
