I'm not. I'm only looking at *released* versions of Windows, but at least considering what comments had to say about old preview releases as ways in which this code might potentially be mangled by a compiler. > Btw., wouldn't you have fun to join our Libera IRC channel > #cygwin-developers? https://cygwin.com/irc.html I was on MSYS2's discord for a while, but I found that between the time zone differences and my own feeling that I needed to keep up with all the messages I had to give up on that. I try to prune my Github notifications down to a level where I can keep up with pieces I'm interested in without getting overwhelmed. I seem to remember that IRC doesn't deliver a backlog of messages from when you're offline, so perhaps it would be worth a try.
