What's shown is what has been tested and supported. Historically, new versions of glibc tend to break existing binaries, so we are not making any statement about versions not on the list. Also, I strongly recommend sticking to the specific distributions listed. In future releases, we're going to stop listing kernel and glibc versions, as they are only two of the thousands of variables that make each distribution and each version different from one another.
We'd love to be able to claim support for more distributions, but the sheer number of distros, the dizzying speed at which new versions are released (often without our being able to see them beforehand), and the frequent incompatible changes, make testing and figuring out how to adapt to changes a daunting task.
There are many cases where a distro varies from a supported one in inconsequential ways, but we don't have the resources to test all of them. If you want to try something not on the list, and you have problems, we'd be interested to learn about it but we can't offer support for distros other than the specific ones (and versions) we list.
