We kind of committed to keep the status quo for the v1.x series, that is, XP support included, but we'll drop it afterwards. Can you come up with a (as detailed as possible) API proposal? That way we can see if this would fit into v1.x or land in master and be part of v2.x, in which case there is no need to worry about Windows XP.
