Scott Cantor commented on XERCESC-2190:
---------------------------------------
I definitely agree *for my purposes* but my point was that I tend not to
introduce changes that don't actually fix an issue *and* end up changing where
the code will run if I don't have a reason to do it.
In this case, I would say to leave it and if/when GetVersionEx does disappear
and start causing real problems on supported platforms, we can have a record
that it's safe to just yank.
So I think we have what we need but no reason to do anything at this time.
But as I say, that's just my perspective on how to deal with these kinds of
issues.
