How does this list relate to the compatibility chart and the Supported/Unsupported Category in the wiki?

The "Freddi Fish One Stop Fun Shop" triggered this question by me. It's not a supported game, but it appears in the list mentioned above and in the unsupported category. But also Soltys is in the unsupported while it's clearly announced that we should report bugs for it.

Just curious.

Yes, that list above also contains games that are not yet supported, but are valid targets for future work on ScummVM.
The reasoning is that since we know those games are likely to be supported in the future (and maybe already partially work), people might be interested in purchasing them already. Either for that unspecified future, or out of interest to follow the work on it, or even to join our efforts.

Well, Soltys is not yet supported in a released stable version of ScummVM. It is slated for the upcoming ScummVM 1.5.0 release.
The "Support" field in the wiki pages is generally used for stable release, i.e. it will soon change from "Not supported" to "Since ScummVM 1.5.0".
