We aren't. "Discussing support" would be talking about some code that needs to be written or rewritten or changed in support of that OS. Nothing of the sort is on the table; the code is already written, was written long ago, actually, and no one suggested to work on it, let alone improve it. What we are doing is we are bikeshedding about a short paragraph of text that I added back to a README, that's all. It's a mouse that gave birth to a mountain. I guess we have nothing more important to do with our time.
