Couple of questions:

1) Does documenting this imply Emacs developers provide support for
it?

I don't think so, and this is AFAIK still in Beta. I think that if we're
going to add this documentation to the download page, we should mention
both.

It is indeed not (yet) a finished product.

For example, not all network tools are working. An overview I found; dated June '17:

As of Creators Update, the following tools should work:

ping
dig
ifconfig
ip link
ip addr show
ifconfig
whois
nslookup
ip route
ip addr add/delete

Not working:

nmap
tracepath
traceroute
traceroute6

Even so I believe it's always a good idea to offer a broad range of possibilities to get to know free software and the principles behind them.
