Wouldn't it be more concise to use --installables instead of --supported and show a directory listing of /usr/share/uboot? And at the top (maybe repeated at the bottom) a reference to the different status and the table at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/Fedora_Linux_35?


(And no, I don't want to give plain "good advice" on what others should work on. I could contribute to edit the table, monitor and try to collect additional information, if there is agreement on this. I'm already doing a lot of documentation for Server.)
