The definition of tier-1 is that new functionality is added to all tier-1 platforms. This is no exception. I'm not going to re-open the tier discussion right now, though we indeed need to review it in the next month or two. For rgiht now, plan on supporting all tier-1 platforms. You don't need to necessarily write all the code yourself for these, but you have to be prepared to take them into consideration and take responsibility for getting the code written by someone.
