Well, unfortunately, at least 70% of the Windows users can be counted on not
to differentiate platform-specific issues from general ones. And given the
flakyness of the platform, I expect there to be continuous issues. Also, I'd
really rather not have a 25-post thread on PGSQL-SQL discussing how XP-SP3
breaks PostgreSQL.
While there are other possible lists we could add, the advantage of
PGSQL-WINDOWS is that it would attract a substantial portion of the new
users, which, for example, a list named PGSQL-INSTALL might not.
On a completely different topic, who's in charge of ODBC these days? I'm
getting breakage reports on IRC.
