Brad, can you share what the current status is on this? If I remember
correctly, then libuv cannot be built yet on all necessary compilers. Is
that still the case? This sounds like the biggest impediment. Once we can
rely on libuv, we can also use it for filesystem operations. This would
help solve issues like #13162.
