I added a few comments below, otherwise all the categories look
reasonable to me, thanks!

Was clvm dropped from lvm2?
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lvm2/2.03.02-2ubuntu1
I haven't used clustered lvm myself; maybe it was just rolled into lvm2.

as cpaelzer said, docker itself shouldn't be in the fully supported list.

presumably, this includes lxc and lxd?

wouldn't this be fully supported?

shouldn't this be in fully supported?
also Brett (I added to cc) brought up that resource-agents-paf might
be worth considering supporting:

I would expect both these to be in the fully supported category?

as cpaelzer mentioned, Xen should probably move up to the 'best
effort' section; this was just moved out of main in focal.
