And noone has said anything about the Windows backend being 
feature-complete before hotplug is done.

Actually, if you look at the Wiki, you'll see that the Windows backend 
is still very much flagged as experimental [1]. This is not a mistake.

Again, why bother implementing part of something early, when the same is 
likely to be provided in a different manner, when a complete feature is 
implemented. Unless the expectation is that a lot of people will be 
affected before the full implementation is done, which I don't currently 
see (it took a custom implementation of the actual feature we plan to 
duplicate to raise the prospect of an issue here), and one values their 
time, it makes a lot of sense to wait for the full feature implementation.
