Yea, I think it's beyond time that we declare some old windows versions dead. There's enough weird behaviour in supported versions of windows (especially its socket API) that I really don't want to support more than necessary. And supporting versions that've been out of date for a while seems more than unnecessary. Greetings, Andres Freund
