Sage has several pages which list the supported platforms, which have tended to disagree with each other.

It was decided a few weeks ago that a list would be maintained at

http://wiki.sagemath.org/SupportedPlatforms

and other parts of the Sage documentation should point to that page, and not have a list of their own. Then we only need to update the list in one place.

I'm aware README.txt needs updating, and the ticket for that now has positive 
review

http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/10243

I'm also aware the Sage Developers guide has some really unrealistic requirements for packages,

http://www.sagemath.org/doc/developer/inclusion.html

which states the packages must build with:

 * MSVC 2005/Intel Fortran (MinGW or Cygwin support is insufficient!)
 * Sun Forte 12

Sage has never build with either of those compilers!

Is anyone aware of any other pages, which have lists of supported platforms, or other remarks which could be interpreted as such a list? If so, I'd like to get the list removed, and instead provide a link to

http://wiki.sagemath.org/SupportedPlatforms
