Platform support policy proposal

There is a fair amount of confusion about the specific operating system platforms, platform versions, etc. that Chef Software, Inc. supports for its products. This RFC will clarify this by calling out the individual operating systems and their releases as explicitly supported or not.
Any chance FreeBSD support could be expanded for FreeBSD 8.X.  I know Dyn had this compiling without issues and the 8.X series is still considered a production branch: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/
