Not at all. The first thing that the PEP says about unsupporting code
is:
Unsupporting platforms
If a certain platform that currently has special code in it is
deemed to be without Python users,
What a vendor supports is only a heuristic. Existence of users comes
first.
Note that the policy says that some Windows platforms *will* be
supported. It doesn't say others will be unsupported (except
implicitly: 3 years after the last version of Visual Studio capable of
building releases for that platform goes out of extended support, the
build infrastructure will be removed).
I don't see a good reason to change the PEP.
