The lists are current. They are updated whenever a developer updates
his backend (and the respective description file).

Look at the lists (or the scanner search engine). All your scanners
are unsupported or at least untested.

Go to a store that offers a bigger variety of scanners. Or use
Mail-order. Write down the scanners they offer (and that you like) and
enter them into the scanner search engine.
