Does going ahead make development more difficult for the Windows platform? I'm not fully familiar with the issues, but if they were significant enough to persuade Brett that Hg shouldn't go ahead I have to believe they are potential show-stoppers.
I'd rather *know* it was a non-issue than *assume* (as Windows developers did when Hg was mooted) it was a non-issue and then find out that it's real. Ultimately it's up to the core development team. From the outside I see support for a major platform becoming tenuous, and that concerns me.
