You're welcome to do it that way for your software. Others are allowed to choose some subset or superset of your choice. If they don't like your choice, they are allowed to fork the software to support what they want.
Case in point - the gcc projects for rust are not officially supported by rust. They are alternative rust compilers - the authors of those have explicitly stated they will follow the features (etc) of the official rustc, and maybe the rust language team will consider those other compilers when designing new features, but it's not on the rust language team to do so.
Another case in point - many projects don't support most linux distros. The job of the linux distro is maintain a fork (usually in the form of patches against upstream in the source package) of the software that works well with their system.
