+Support types ~
+
+* Tier 1: Officially supported and tested with CI. Any contributed patch
+ MUST NOT break such systems.
+
+* Tier 2: Officially supported, but not necessarily tested with CI. These
+ systems are maintained to the best of our ability, without being a top
+ priority.
+
+* Tier 3: Not tested and no guarantees, but may work.
+
+Adding support for a new platform ~
+
+IMPORTANT: Before attempting to add support for a new platform please open
+an issue about it for discussion.
+
+
+==============================================================================
+Common
+
+Some common notes when adding support for new platforms:
+
+Cmake is the only supported build system. The platform must be buildable with cmake.
+
+All functionality related to the new platform must be implemented in its own
+file inside `src/nvim/os` unless it's already done in a common file, in which
+case adding an `#ifdef` is fine.
