I have little opinion on the PEP as a whole, but is the above
statement true? From the git website, version 2.2.0 is current, and
yet the downloadable Windows version is still 1.9.4. That's a fairly
significant version lag for a "first class citizen".

I like git, and it has a number of windows-specific extensions that
are really useful (more than Mercurial, AFAIK), but I wouldn't say
that the core product supported Windows on an equal footing to Linux.
