I think we should separate platform independent implementations from platform specific implementations. The platform independent implementations are straightforward to list. We can include the tables only for platform specific implementations. For items like the optimized memory functions, I think we can say something like this:

I think for the status page, we do need the list of currently available functions / entry points for each officially supported platform.  It helps us to quickly identify holes in our `entrypoints.txt` files as you can see in the lists.  As long as we keep the platform classification generic enough, I don't think it will grow too much more.  And these tables should be updated whenever there are changes in `entrypoints.txt` files.

For further implementation / optimization details, we can totally add to another sections or pages, but I think they should be separated from our concrete supported `entrypoints.txt` status.
