Well, I think first step should be to set internal defines to Windows Vista, and announce to the list that XP support is no longer explicit maintained. I am open minded to keep a XP for a while present, nevertheless we shouldn't spend explicit efforts in this without need. If some of our community are requesting to keep further XP support, we need some volunteer to maintain it, or funds to our project for seeing a reasoning.
