Explanation

OK	tested and worked ok, no serious problems found
TEST	Test in progress
FAIL	Tested and failed
WONT	Will not be tested (e.g. not part of the certification or will be running a custom version of Linux)
WORKSFORME	Tested (but not neccessarily by maintainer or exhaustive), seems to work.Also used for commercial applications without formal support for this platform, but which seem to work.
UNKNOWN	not tested or no feedback from maintainer, no other reports of success or failure
MISSING	required (perhaps only in previous versions) but not provided
