Ok, that's a different story.  Would it then make sense to add a comment
to the manual about each server and if they work on the platforms Emacs
runs?  Currently, "digestif" doesn't run on Windows, "texlab" (see
below) does.  I know, this is work and possibly out of Eglot's scope,
but it could give users some direction.

The addition would look like this:
