I'm not sure to whom this specifically should be addressed, but something that's been bugging me for a while: announcements like this morning's "AnySQL Maestro 11.7 released", where the announcement mentions nothing about platform support. And it's not just the lack of that info in announcements; on many web sites you have to dig for a while to find info about platform support, and I do not enjoy finding what looks like a nice tool, only to have to spend 5-10 minutes to figure out that it is Windows only.

My suggestion: all such announcements should include information about supported platforms. Any announcement submitted without that info should be rejected, and the vendor instructed to add it before re-submission.
