I think the list is missing some important platforms which we do support (looking at configure):
- Linux on 32-bit ARM platforms, e.g. for Raspberry Pis
- Linux on Android
- AIX
- Cygwin
- NetBSD/OpenBSD
- musl instead of glibc for Linux, e.g. for Alpine images
These platforms are missing on purpose. None of these platforms have a stable buildbot and tests are failing on most of them.
- Greg is running an unstable buildbot on an RPi at home, so RPi may fit
into Tier 3.
- Alpine / musl is not supported, because our test suite is failing due
to bugs and missing features in musl libc.
- NetBSD and OpenBSD are in a similar state as Alpine: no stable
buildbot and AFAIK tests are failing
Android is no longer actively maintained
Cygwin and MinGW are officially unsupported, see bpo-45537 and bpo-45538
