Note that votes alone probably aren't enough to ensure continuing support. It will require developer time and testers to make sure it continues to work. >From Tor's original email, it sounds like he doesn't currently have a system to test Win9x support with. Is anyone else offering to do this testing? If maintaining Win9x support turns out to be non-trivial (getting Cairo running properly may be, for instance), is anyone willing to help with the development. Given limited resources, developers will usually focus on the areas that will benefit most users. For Windows, this means making it work well on NT derivatives. For X systems, it means making it work well for systems with RENDER.
