There was a problem hiding this comment. I think this can be rephrased more concisely. I've puzzled through the thought of directing readers to report issues from this section of the text, and I can't think why it's more compelling to urge that action here than in any other section. If you prefer to keep it, consider something like "Open an issue in the toolkit repository to report problems." |

I suspect your choice of "qualified" rather than supported is to communicate some subtlety. If feels dicey to me, but it's you who answers questions and not me.
nit: s/has been/is/, unless there is a consideration that I'm overlooking.

The issue is that people reach out to us all the time pointing out that we need to add "Debian 12" support or "Ubuntu 24.04" support, where we are reasonably confident that the packages should work as is. The caveat is that we have not officiallty tested against these configurations. If you have a suggestion on how to better call this out, that would be appreciated.

This is a great and important discussion. I wonder: what do we really do?
I see a contradiction between
and
I see "qualification testing" as one of the later stages of testing in a release process, in particular meaning: I take a release candidate and make sure it works against all supported platforms.
edit: oh, I see. The table shows what in fact hast been properly qualification-tested.
You want to imply that we may support (in a loose understanding of the word) more than what is shown in the table.
Makes sense. Yeah we can try to put this into really simple words. Towards the community, it's typically important and sufficient to express the intent in a friendly tone. That removes much attack surface / source of frustration.
I will work on a proposal!
