+and technical documentation.
+
+# Basics
+
+A table with an overview of the support status and applicability.
+
+---------------- ----------------------------------------------------
+         Status: e.g. **Supported**/**Tech Preview**/**Experimental**
+
+Architecture(s): e.g. x86, arm
+

+A short description the feature, similar to an abstract for a
+paper/presentation.

+
+# Limitations
+
+Information concerning incompatibilities with other features or hardware
+combinations.
+
+# Technical information

+feature itself, or improve interaction with other features.
+
+# Known issues
+
+List of known issues or bugs.  For tech preview or experimental
+features, this section must contain the list of items needing fixing for
+its status to be upgraded.
