Some may believe it is time for SpiderMonkey standalone builds for Windows to return, as personally I am admittedly increasingly frustrated at the increasing numbers of Windows-specific build failures. (More may come as :glandium points out, as long as Windows standalone builds are not on TBPL)

I understand many developers do not develop on Windows, but Windows is one of the most widely-used platforms, and one that I fuzz on and not having it compile blocks using, testing, fuzzing, and bisecting on it.

Bug 785798 removed them due to breakage of some sort and we've had it on Linux since. Compilation failures have at least been responsible for bug 948301, 951587, 971426, etc.

"Please reinstate standalone SpiderMonkey builds for Windows. Releng might want a re-assurance that someone will be on the ball to fix build errors as necessary, but I'll leave it to the JS folks to decide."

Bug 972089[1] has all the gory details.

Does anyone disagree?
