Thanks for the feedback Lance, that does help.
So in summary, we should continue to list the OS platforms that we have tested TCKs on.
For the Jakarta EE 9 testing that we have been doing for
github.com/eclipse-ee4j/jakartaee-tck (Standalone + Platform TCKs), we have been using CentOS 7, which the TCK documentation should list at a minimum.
If others (e.g. SPEC API projects, community) have tested the Standalone/Platform TCKs on other operating systems the TCKs documentation can also include the other operating systems. This does need to be added to the TCK documentation (via a pull request + merged) prior to the relevant SPEC going up to ballot.

Hi Scott,
Hi,
Does it still make sense to list the OS platforms that we have tested TCKs on?
From my perspective it is still relevant as is the Java SE version and OS version. It is quite possible that OS X and Java SE Y will run cleanly while OS Y and Java SE Y will not as I have seen that more times than I would like to remember with Java EE/CTS
If we should still include the OS platforms, could we just refer to Linux, instead of referring to the exact distribution and version?
Well not all versions of Linux are the same so it is worth being specific as a point of reference as it makes it easier when tracking down issues to know what combinations will pass.
