Hi, I wanted to call attention to the fact that while we removed Windows support on CASSANDRA-16171 [1], we haven't added instructions on how to run Cassandra on Windows with docker/WSL for those users that potentially relied on Windows support. (CASSANDRA-16173[2], CASSANDRA-15887[3]).
While we probably shouldn't block GA on this I think we should at least mention in the installation guide[4] that native Windows support was dropped on 4.0 for those that relied on this. This can be done independently from the official artifacts since it's a separate repository. To close the loop on this if there are no objections I will send an email to the user list requesting volunteers to write the Windows instructions or donate resources to provide official windows support if there's interest.
