If being cross platform is a defining point of the piece of software
then I feel that it does belong in the description. Take arora as an
example, it aimed amongst many things to be a completely cross
platform browser, therefor having that in the description is
important. Whereas the KDE stack, which is cross platform, but as a
secondary goal should not have any such info in its description. There
are many pieces of software that I wouldn't use if the fact that they
were cross platform wasn't in the description.
