I've been wondering that last myself. Supporting Windows-native is already a huge amount of work, which we put up with because there are a lot of users. If msys is going to add another large chunk of work, has it got enough users to justify that? The recent argument that this behavior isn't user-visible doesn't do anything to mollify me on that point; it appears to me to be tantamount to a concession that no real users actually care about msys. regards, tom lane
