I don't think that means "supports" so much as "won't refuse to build on".
Quoting from: http://docs.basho.com/riak/latest/ops/building/installing/from-source/#Dependencies "Riak requires Erlang R15B01. Note: don't use Erlang version R15B02 or R15B03, for the moment, as it causes an error with riak-admin status commands." The bug report I linked to earlier also mentions that they're not recommending R16 either. Not sure if that's changed since R16B02 was released or not.
