Basically just lack of resources to do proper testing and amend the list
on a regular basis.

Feel free to submit a patch amending the list for newer platforms if
you got p2pdma working on them.

That's fine but it would help us if you could clarify whether you're
associated with an OFAC sanctioned entity.  Unfortunately we're now
forced to perform background checks on contributors before interacting
with them:

I note that there's a developer with your name based in Serbia.
If that's you, you're probably not associated with a sanctioned entity:

However there is another person based in Saint Petersberg and the
situation is less clear in their case:

I am very sorry it has come to this.

Thanks,
