dev-tested platforms

[Anil Gangolli]

I'd like to resuscitate the idea that we publish the list/matrix of 
developer-tested platform combinations for each release ( container, 
jdbc driver, db server, jdk version, os version ).

Not trying to discourage exploration, but  I think users should know if 
they are pioneering uncharted waters or on relatively safe ground when 
installing on a particular platform combination.

Any reservations on me adding a wiki page for 2.0 on this topic?  I 
envision a table with a row for each platform component and a column for 
each tested configuration,with a bottom row specifying the developers 
who "vouch" for that combination.

I thought there was some objection the last time I proposed this, but I 
can no longer remember the reasoning, and I'm even more convinced now 
that this is worthwhile.
