That was my last point also: we have years of track record on most of
our Unix ports, and none yet on Windows. Even several months of
intensive testing by a small number of people will hardly level the
playing field.

I don't think that's an issue. We are not blessing anything based on
7.2 ;-). The objective is to merge the changes into CVS tip and have
a first "official" Windows port as part of the 7.4 release. After that,
it'll stay as current as any other port that's being actively used.
