I considered that, but then figured we do want to keep this as
an indicator this is a supported platform (and also placeholder
if/when any new items worth documenting appear).

That said, I don't feel strongly at all and will happily remove
this if that's the preference here.

There should probably at least be a short description of the target,
like it is present for all other targets without specific instructions.
