Considering a typical set of software most of the people here work with it would be completely inappropriate to block commits for failing Windows specific features. After all, Microsoft never did bother to check what features or compatibilty matters they have broke in Java and elsewhere, so why should we? I believe this kind of rules have to be set and discussed before the merge is done. Cheers, Cos
