It may not be our place to say whether XP is secure or not, but if we say that
we support it then we have to run test passes against XP as a platform, and if

becomes a test and support issue, not a security issue.
That's why it doesn't make sense to support an OS platform that the original
vendor (MS) no longer supports themselves.

It's not really our place to police that ... plus it's perfectly safe to
be running Bitcoin Core as a full node on XP. It's just the wallet
functionality that people should be careful about. We're talking about
such a small intersection of people who are running XP, have systems
powerful enough to run Bitcoin Core, and use the wallet functionality.

Okay, so we simply stop supporting it. Should bitcoin pull support
altogether?
