Therefore, in light of this, I have to ask the question - what on earth
is the point of this "supported" label, if at the end of the day it's
ultimately a pointless and meaningless one at best, and confusing and
misleading at worst (when a "supported" platform actually builds less
packages than one which isn't)?

Where's the benefit?  Where's the net gain for pkgsrc?
