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.
We currently don't support RHEL 5.x and do we have any customers that need support for it?

We can probably get support for it fairly cheaply by leveraging the chef-client work (and I built the chefdk omnibus package initially on the old ci servers and had most of the other operating systems working when it was switched to new ci).  By the same token FreeBSD, Debian and possibly even Solaris support will be fairly easy to leverage the client work that is already done.
