Do we really want to allow that? Sounds like it's better to warn here and
ask to stop using the windows8 alias. If they already know about the unified
platform and even added it, why would they use the windows8 alias? And if they
do out of habit, why would we encourage that?

> Key: CB-6976
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-6976
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Sergey Grebnov
> Assignee: Sergey Grebnov
>
> Creating this as a new JIRA feature since this is different from previously
> proposed adding support for Windows 8.1 only.
> This feature proposes transforming 'windows8' to 'windows' platform which is
> based on Windows Universal apps and which allows building apps for Windows 8,
> Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1. Window Phone 8 (wp8) stays as a platform.
> Original info from dev mail thread:
> With Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1 platforms released, it would be great
> to get Cordova support building apps for those platforms too. A lot of people
> on this list have also been talking about how to adapt existing apps to the
> new 8.1 platforms. Here is an initial proposal and prototype of how it may
> look.
> TL;DR; - Rename windows8 platform to be called windows. This platform can
> build apps for Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1. Window Phone 8
> (wp8) stays as a platform.

> TODO: add Windows 8.1 and WP8.1 components.
