Maybe we should just mention Android, since this change comes from upstream and not from Termux patches. Any android build of python based on upstream v3.13 onwards includes this change.

For example, the Coding Python app on the Play Store also reports sys.platform == "android" even though it does not include Termux patches.

Yes, If this is not specific to Termux, listing android directly should be better


Theoretically every Unix based system should work, but they will not be actively tested.
It is also required that somebody provides initial test results before the OS is enabled
