In my mind, POSIX has been the target for the plugins for some time now.
We will almost always end up supporting whatever our core developers use
(RedHat Linux in my case). Not to imply that a developer's OS is more
deserving of support, just that it gets tested there.

But POSIX is the official target for the plugins. We might even document
that someplace ;-)
