In the comment as to why this disables platform specific
features beyond repair, please list specific examples (e.g.
the first one that is encountered); please also put your
name as the one to ask for further details into this comment.

Also, I would prefer this not to talk about versions whose
development has not started yet (ie. 8.*), unless there is
some really strong indication that none of the 8.* releases
will provide a solution.
