+b2g on the Raspberry Pi is still very much a work in progress.  Eventually a nice compability matrix will be posted.  But for now, the worst bugs to watch out for are
+* graphics are barely functional.  b2g can allocate video memory and submit jobs to the GPU, but there are numerous glitches in the graphics pipeline that result in distorted screen contents.
+* graphics are crashy.  There seems to be a double-free bug in the GLES code released by Broadcom.  This bug usually causes the b2g server application to crash within a few minutes after startup.
+* out-of-process apps don't work.  OOP apps hang at the initialization of the crash reporter protocol.  The underlying cause is not yet known.
+* Wi-Fi dongles have not yet been tested.  Most likely they don't work yet.
+* audio output has not been tested.  It may not work.
+* system capabilities like camera and GPIO access are not yet supported by the b2g runtime.
+* system performance has not yet been tuned for the RPi.  Some things may be slower than expected.
