On the contrary, I don't see how we can assume it IS stable without any
evidence (which is effectively what we're doing if we release 8.0.0
without any special note about how stable we expect Win32 to be: we're
treating unix and win32 equally, when they clearly are not from the POV
of testing and maturity).

This is enterprise software -- I think it would be wise for us to be
conservative about what we promise our users.

If "everyone knows", why not document it?
