Good idea. Users should know the limitations. For example, we now have
an Oracle database creation script. But since none of the developers
did any testing with Oracle, so we can't really vouch for Oracle
support. That's a pretty important piece of information.

I'd like to resuscitate the idea that we publish the list/matrix of

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.
