This is the first time I've seen this list, but I don't think this list is anything to be concerned about. That's a list of lenses incompatible with the second, new and faster, focusing technology for LiveView.
The optical viewfinder still works, as it always has, with all lenses. The LiveView will work in contrast-detect (accurate but slow), as it has since it was introduced. It's just that many older lenses don't work with the new DualPixel system. This system sends half the light to the sensor for LiveView, and half to the phase-detect focus system (the type of focus system the optical viewfinder uses).
The list also looks like very old lenses. These are focal length ranges that Canon hasn't made in a long time. Notice you'll see 70-210, and 80-200, instead of 70-200. 28-70 and 28-80, instead of 24-70. I own one of them (28-70mm f/3.5-4.5)... it was my cheap (used, $99) way of getting a general purpose lens for my 1Ds2. It's ancient.
This could mean issues for 3rd party lenses too, but only for the new Dual Pixel Live-View focus mode.
