Sage,
Your suggested text is a good start. Something quite like it is already in place.
When is the Octopus release expected?

I think the way to approach this is a blanket statement like:
Generally speaking, Ceph should work on any modern Linux distribution.
In practice, we build packages for and test on a select set of common
distributions.
Starting with Octopus, we recommend deployments consume Ceph via a
container image instead of packages. The container itself is based on
CentOS 8. The container is generally consumed by either Rook.io or the
ceph-daemon tool. In the later case, the OS requirements are relaxed, ...
Specifically, we build packages for:
...
We test on:
...
Something along those lines?

By the time of octopus release, I belive this will be:
Build
- CentOS 8 (x86_64)
- Ubuntu 18.04 (x86_64)
- Ubuntu 18.04 (aarch64) (I think?)
Test
- centos 7.6 (containerized ceph only)
- centos 8.0
- ubuntu 18.04
We need to pin this down pretty soon. Much of this is piled up behind
the py3 conversion, which is oh-so-close...
