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)
IMO, it makes sense to fix results of the discussion. From my POV the main point is how we define "support" and what it means for us. After we agree on that we can move to details. Thanks, Stepan.
