Why not?
I have on my hand several programs which use -winnt*, such as many old
releases of Emacs. And users should be capable of replacing config.sub
and config.guess with newer versions without ill effect.
At no point has anyone proposed removing *-winnt-*. And while I think a
deprecation message is a good idea, no one has submitted yet a patch for
that either.
With Dmitry's plan, you can still upgrade config.sub in those old
versions of Emacs if you like without any issue.
