I could see a number of advantages to a proper database driven page that lists full support information. It may also spur people or companies to invest a little time in driver support if there was a clear picture of what is involved in supporting a platform. It also seems to me that keeping an Arm driver support list up to date would require a regular investment. If there was a resource (person/persons) assigned to the task it would simply be a matter of contacting the resource when support changes.
