Which scenes should currently work?

I assumed the way to learn to use this tool would be to find existing scenes that do something similar to ones aims and use those as a starting point, but I've just read a comment that said development hasn't maintained backward compatibility, so lots of old scenes are no longer intended to work. It would be very useful to have a file that kept track of which scenes are currently intended to work. Just trying them to see is no good because they may fail because of not having installed everything correctly.
