Mac support is unknown (not in process and no prospective sponsors).

64bit iOS is pending, held up by the "hostage" issue[*]. All the
hands-on testing is done and we're in the wait-on-the-bureaucracy phase.
 My best guess at this point is another two or three months. That
revision will probably be called 2.0.10, but it won't be a revision of
the #1747 validation. Instead it will be the first revision of the
pending new "salvage edition" validation[**]. It will be the same
tarball as if we were allowed to update the #1747 validation directly,
though.
