I could most definitely agree with that on a personal level - no more
Mingw/msys builds to maintain :-)
Alas, it's probably not practical to drop it without inconveniencing a
great many Windows users.
I hope you're not suggesting we drop Mingw/MSys as a build platform,
even if you personally don't want to build with it. I would have found
it much harder to do parallel restore for Windows (which works quite
differently from Unix, and so had to be specifically developed) if I had
been forced to use the MS tool set with which I don't ever otherwise work.
I don't think we should deprecate 8.2 on Windows unless we really can't
backport this fix reasonably.
