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.
There's an ArchLinux wiki page on doing omnibus-chef compiles which is actually Arch-User-Maintained.

This is actually a somewhat bad model because random library header files being present can cause configure scripts in omnibus to link against software on the box and make the health checks fail.  Of course at that point I'm not even certain health checks make any sense?  Same thing with gentoo...  rolling source-build releases meeting up with omnibus is kind of odd...  They've got bleeding edge ruby installs and everything so why not just gem install chef?
