If I knew that, it'd be because we'd already received the pushback.
I'm just suspicious that very little beta testing happens on Windows,
and what does is probably mostly people running up-to-date Windows.
So I think there's plenty of chance for "hey, this no longer works"
complaints later. Maybe we'll be able to reject it all with "sorry,
we desupported that version of Windows", but I dunno.
