It would be great if someone would help, but it is still a step forward. For 
projects that require this and document specific requirements it will just work 
for non-Windows users. Say the project needs 8gb to run correctly: in most 
cases no one reads the documentation they run the build and it fails. Then they 
go read something and figure it out and it works. We've at least made it work 
for some people. If there isn't a single Maven committer who uses Windows who 
can add the same capabilities or we can't find a contributor I don't think it 
should stop the feature for going in for the people it can benefit.

Igor and I don't use Windows regularly, don't know Windows, don't want to know 
Windows and none of our customers use Windows.

It's overall a net improvement. For me it's a about gradual improvement. But 
I've asked on Twitter if there are any Windows users that can help.

I don't think that was the issue. The issue was us not being able the decide on 
an underlying logging framework. I've seen JANSI working fine on Windows for 
years.

People develop abstractions by generalizing from concrete examples.
Every attempt to determine the correct abstraction on paper without
actually developing a running system is doomed to failure. No one
is that smart. A framework is a resuable design, so you develop it by
looking at the things it is supposed to be a design of. The more examples
you look at, the more general your framework will be.
