Hi, I'd be really sorry to lose MSVCRT support. Having it not be the default is OK, I suppose, but losing it entirely would make me sad.

I ship a variety of binaries with different capabilities but there's nothing I can do to prevent people writing blog posts where they recommend using the lowest-common denominator MSVCRT 32-bit binary, or bundling it with their project. It may not be the most efficient, but it runs everywhere. It even runs on ARM64. Slowly, to be sure, but with the same results on the testsuite as on i686. And it's not as though UCRT is any better than MSVCRT. It still requires the same workarounds for bugs, and needs its own too.
