A little bit of both. Some devices we build the firmware but we don't
necessarily have the ability to test them, some are so similar to
other devices we can be confident they should be OK, others we can't
actively test.
Wouldn't it be more concise to use --installables instead of --supported and show a
directory listing of /usr/share/uboot? And at the top (maybe repeated at the bottom) a
reference to the different status and the table at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/Fedora_Linux_35?
(And no, I don't want to give plain "good advice" on what others should work
on. I could contribute to edit the table, monitor and try to collect additional
information, if there is agreement on this. I’m already doing a lot of documentation for
Server.)
