| Prebuilt binaries are currently available targeting x86_64 with AVX2 support on Ubuntu 20.04. We | ||
| will stop publishing these in the near future (as of May 2025). | ||
| [Building from source](https://docs.anza.xyz/cli/install#build-from-source) is required for all | ||
| other supported target platforms (MacOS and Windows) today and suggested for linux as it will soon |

for all other supported target platforms (MacOS and Windows)
This page is specifically about running a validator. I don't think it is possible to run a validator on Mac or Windows today, but this blurb kind of implies that you can to me.
Also, we post MacOS bins right now but I'm guessing we'll stop posting all bins

Agreed, but my read was that the new wording has a stronger implication. Idk, maybe "target" implies build but not run

Backports to the beta branch are to be avoided unless absolutely necessary for fixing bugs, security issues, and perf regressions. Changes intended for backport should be structured such that a minimum effective diff can be committed separately from any refactoring, plumbing, cleanup, etc that are not strictly necessary to achieve the goal. Any of the latter should go only into master and ride the normal stabilization schedule. Exceptions include CI/metrics changes, CLI improvements and documentation updates on a case by case basis. |
