Reviewing mobos, I noticed quoted tech support responses included criticisms/queries about the PSU's <some term> with the Haswell CPU. I know Haswell has a heat sink specification, and there are issues with power and the Haswell sleep cycles. Beyond that?

PSU vendors use terms: Haswell Compatable, Fully-Haswell Compatable, Haswell-ready, Haswell Certified. A search narrowing choice: Haswell Support (Yes).

Do all these terms mean the same thing? Or are they different? E.G. Will I avoid any techsupport blame game by purchasing a Haswell-certified PSU? Certainly sounds stricter than Haswell-ready.
