possible mistake in wiki

this statement from the "wiki" doesn't seem to make sense:
"that oscillators are known that oscillate at all periods other than 19, 23, 34, 38, 41, 43 and 53"
does it mean:
oscillators can oscillate at all periods other than 19, 23, 34, 38, 41, 43 and 53"
(as in these are the only periods that are impossible)
all known oscillators, oscillate at periods between 1 (still life) and some "unknown number" (the largest known period) apart from 19, 23, 34, 38, 41, 43 and 53 (and this "unknown number" has not been stated
or (very far fetched) infinitly many oscillators are known (infinite sets) and 19, 23, 34, 38, 41, 43 and 53 are the only periods that don't exist yet
the sentence also seems to have a bit of bad grammer
