People who don't understand those last two sentences in the first place 
aren't likely to read them again.

Pretty much anything that is supported in FreeBSD will be supported 
under DragonFly, so the hardware lists are going to be quite similar. 
Additionally, the source files for various chipsets usually have a 
generous listing of the products which make use of them. I think an 
``unsupported hardware'' list is likely to be more comprehensive in that 
sense.

Sorry for the fluff above, but your email came across as rather rude at 
first (and second) glance.
