OK, I'll change the text. In a few days there will be a new release, so
I'll put both together on the public website.
Thanks

Thanks Andrea for the additional clarification. I understand better now.
As for gitbox link, I don't have visibility yet beyond the HEAD which
is completely understandable. But I can see the list is long!
Steve, after all this discussion, do you still see a need to improve
the text on the webpage [1]? If so, do have maybe a suggestion what
should be changed or added?

So it seems that OS2 is not supported by the AOO project.
Correct.
I assume that the AOO project is not updating the OS2 code.
Wrong (well, kind of...). Yuri Dario is an Apache committer too; and
we did incorporate the last changes he did into our source code; and
if he contributes further changes, we will probably incorporate them
again.
Still, OS/2 is "unsupported" because we cannot guarantee official
releases and testing coverage. There are other situations where this
could happen. For example, we release ~40 languages but we have
partial translations for many more, see
https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf?p=openoffice.git;a=tree;f=extras/l10n/source;hb=HEAD
and one might want to build and distribute OpenOffice in an
"unsupported" language, which eventually can become "supported" if
the person contributes back and helps complete the translation.
