I don't believe CPython partially supports any platforms - either they are fully supported or they are not supported.
Ok. So there are two questions:
Where is the list of platforms "endorsed" by CPython ("fully supported")
How can we decide when to start to support support a new platform?
Usually, developers begin with a nice looking change: short, not intrusive. But later, the real change comes, and it's much larger and uglier :-) And the rationale for the first change is "come on, it's just a few lines!". And I have troubles to justify to reject such patch. Slowly, I'm pointing people to the right section of the PEP 11.
