Hi Caio, I want give my -1 with following reasons: * Crosswalk is opensource project, the consumer's priority might be windows first. * Suppose we disable windows trybot, the code base break windows day-to-day, patch by patch. If we want to support it someday, the effort is much bigger than we keep windows build for each patch. * My experience on windows port is mainly on VS compiler warnings, it is not such a pain. The pain is we developers need to maintain multiple dev environments. But trybot log should help to resolve it even I do not have windows platform. * We grows from chromium which is crossplatform(win, linux, win, macos), it is kind of shame we break one of them.
BTW, I saw some guy is enabling MacOS build, we might add MacOS slave someday.
