Surely you meant to say "receive no or little testing BY ORACLE, and ORACLE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY bit rot."

I haven't found a definitive list of supported OpenJDK platforms, but have an ad-hoc list of publicly available binaries:
- Major linux distros are supporting x64 and aarch64 (arm64), and probably other platforms.
- AdoptOpenJDK provides tested builds for most 64-bit platforms (x64, aarch64, ppc64, s390).
     - https://adoptopenjdk.net/releases.html
- Bellsoft provides support for 32-bit ARMv7.
    - https://bell-sw.com/products.html
- Azul provides 32-bit x86 and ARMv7 binaries as well as 64-bit x86 and aarch64. 
    - https://www.azul.com/downloads/zulu/

I'm sure there are several others I've missed - sorry!
