jeez. the whole concept of support is an interesting one. the owner's
manual for your car doesn't have a list of "supported" roads, for instance.
the car is warranted against all defects under normal conditions/etc.
all driving/roads are supported except abusive ones.
we expect carmakers to fix defective vehicles. and yet, we somehow do this
without the auto equivalent of some super-LSB standard, ABI, testsuite.
if your new car has a wobbly rearview mirror, they fix it. why is that so
hard in the software world? it's sad...
