Yes. I am one such person, but from the marketing side of things, I understand perfectly well what failing to deliver on Win32 again will cost. It's not important to _me_, but that doesn't mean it's unimportant to the project.
My primary fear about delivering Win32 with all of these other great features is that, IMO, there is a higher level of risk associated with these advanced features. At the same time, this will be the first trial for many Win32 users. Should there be some problems, in general, or worse, specific to Win32 users as it relates to these new features, it could cost some serious Win32/PostgreSQL community points. A troubled release which is experienced by Win32 users is going to be a battle cry for MySQL.
I believe that the very first Win32 native version will be declared "not realy ready for production", am I wrong ?
