Windows 2000 extended support by Microsoft ended on July 13, 2010 (almost 6 years ago) [1]
One problem that MSDN doesn't mention Windows 2000 in API compatibility. Even for functions that was available in Windows NT 4.0, for example IsDebuggerPresent: it's defined with #if _WIN32_WINNT > 0x0400, while MSDN states that it's only available since Windows XP [2]. It's very confusing and we should use LoadLibrary() for all Windows API functions even CreateFile() to be Windows 2000 compatible if we trust MSDN. I also hardly believe that someone even test Subversion on Windows 2000 these days. Serf doesn't support Windows 2000 (due direct usage of SSPI). Given all above I propose to officially drop Windows 2000 support in Subversion and cleanup some Windows 2000 compatibility code.
