This is somewhat eternal todo. IMO opinion only widespread commercial OS are to be considered. Supporting not widespread commercial OS is against GNU policy. Supporting open-source OS is also ok but it's better to push them to use multiboot |

Note about GNU policy: support for proprietary (commercial or not) kernels is a compromise. It's to be decided on a case by case basis whether supporting it serves the goal for user freedom or not.
As for open-source kernels, they fall outside of this criteria only if they are also free software.
In any case, we'd like as many kernels are possible to use Multiboot.
