Folks,

I would prefer that Windows 2000 support not be dropped just yet, although 
for me it only need to be IPv4.

I retired the last NT4 system when its power supply failed, but it would 
be nice to have a legacy version of NTP which still and installed and 
worked there.  Nothing more than making sure the last working version, 
warts and all, isn't thrown away by mistake.

Cheers,
David
