Are you really against this, or is it "just surprising" patch?
If it's not clear from the original submission, the reason for this is that as
long as we build our binaries in a way that they are compatible with older
Windows versions that Vista, they can't contain anything that require at least
Vista. The system headers we include specifically give us access only to such
functionality that is available in all the supported Windows versions.
At the moment this is blocking Windows from using more recent freeciv
networking code. Windows builds end up using something of a fallback of a
fallback code.
