Also seems like a pretty interesting meta question. I'd guess that most developers use (or have access/knowledge of) a very small subset of operating systems that TS supports, and that other enhancements will run into the same issue. If we generally follow the #1 suggestion, I wonder how this will affect or impair general progress. If we generally follow the #2 suggestion, our 'support' for various OS's will likely be flakey. Seems like rock meets hard place.
