Which tells us a lot about the value of having a useful documentation 
about your systems :-)

Just this mailing list... or the -devel or -docs one, I guess.

Both your assumptions are correct... unfortunately, it seems to be hard 
task collecting and keeping up-to-date a compatibility list. The problem 
starts with the fact that many users don't report their configuration.

For those of us that do, a page in the wiki might be a good starting 
point. The luxury version would be a database accessible through a web 
front end, and when starting Bacula the first time you get asked if you 
want your systems data uploaded automatically to the database... now we 
only need someone to implement this :-)
