Well, list them explicitly ?

We would need to list them explicitly for the 8/16 bit types as well to be consistent (and Jonathan's change is consistent with the existing text in that regard). I do think we should perhaps be explicit though. It might be enough to say that 64-bit atomics are supported on 64-bit platforms and some i386 systems. For 8/16 you'd need an explicit list of platforms.

And arm v6/7.
