slight clarification.  You can and should submit bug reports on any and all
buggy code you find.  SUpport vs. non-support indicates what you can expect
a patch for, among other things, and the level of effort which might go
into fixing it.  

Now, please -- no flames or sarcastic remarks that I assumre you I can
generate in response to this previous paragraph of mine.  I just wanted
to clarify that, not open speculation about the level of support on Supported
code...
