No, a proper April fools would be to support a platform so esoteric that you 
realise it's a joke, like bringing back IRIX, Tru64, supporting the Borland 
C++ compiler again. Announcing support for platforms that are not out of the 
question would only lead to mistakes, confusion and anger.

The best one, however, is extremely hard: announce something so weird that 
people think it's a joke, but in fact it's not. That's what Google did with 
GMail on April Fools 2004.
