That's a lame argument. Windows is almost irrelevant for the market we are in - web server deployments. Our own community is barely able to keep up providing the most basic Windows support and ensuring tests pass. As long as we don't have more community volunteers actually caring about Windows support, I won't let it be an argument to penalize the rest of the community. > If we don't use it, we shouldn't pin it, IMHO.

The KGS is a base KGS you can use. Nobody forces you to stick to it. In fact for every single deployment of your own you will need to extend it. I don't see a problem with the few people using Windows and not installing compilers on their platforms to change one version pin.
