Error Message Realms are documented in this pull request, but not in the actual documentation yet: https://github.com/racket/racket/pull/4104

    "Racket CS runs on platforms where native-code generation is not currently supported"

It looks like this means "Racket-on-Chez-Scheme"(i.e. "Racket >= 8.0") will run, but it won't use Chez Scheme it'll default to the old system: https://github.com/racket/racket/issues/3802

No, that item means Racket CS runs on platforms where native code generation isn't available via a portable bytecode backend.

The documentation on docs.racket-lang.org isn't updated to the new release yet, which is why realms are missing. The hold up is that it needs to build all 2k packages with 8.5 first.

This trips me up almost every release. New feature announced, go look up what it does and how to use it, not there yet. By the time it is updated I've usually forgotten about it.
