Too negative, you'll never get a job in marketing :-) How about
something like ...
* Support for debugging Pascal programmes.
GDB now includes support for the debugging of Pascal programmes. This
includes the ability to <list of things that do work>.
There are still a few limiations, of note ....

As to the more general question of ``incomplete support''. This would
be like me demanding test results when someone submits a new port and
then awarding a grade (broken, alpha, beta, incomplete, ...) dependant
on how good/bad they were. No, I'm not going to do that.
