Earlier today, I've added to the Lisp manual the phrases

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
     Depending on the implementation of the file name handler, it might
     not be possible to apply FILTER or SENTINEL to the resulting
     process object.  *Note Filter Functions::, and *note Sentinels::.

     Some file name handlers may not support ‘make-process’.  In such
     cases, this function does nothing and returns ‘nil’.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I believe, this is sufficient neutral.

Best regards, Michael.
