I've noticed that when we mention Win32 native support in 8.0 (both here
and in the release notes), we don't say it is "considered to be beta",
or "less well-tested than PostgreSQL for Unix systems", or some other
caveat. While I haven't used the Win32 port myself, I still think such a
disclaimer would be wise: the Win32 port has received a tiny fraction of
the testing that the Unix port has. So we really *don't* know how
unstable/buggy it may be, and until we have more data, I think
under-promising is a good idea.

(... or has this already been discussed over the summer?)
