Describe the fix or the content request.

On this page we list out the supported gates by processor family. The list for Heron should include fractional gates, and Herons will also lose for_loop and switch_case in June.

I also question the need to have a hard coded list in the docs, when people can just query with backend.supported_instructions. It'd be nice if IQP UI also lists supported instructions and not just gates.

@javabster wdyt?

For new content requests - if the request is accepted, do you want to write the content?

I only want to review the material when it's finished

I think the table layout is still a useful reference, the page itself gets ~200 views per month (which is not nothing) and if we remove the tables there really wont be much content on the page.

We should def update though
