As far as I'm concerned, Windows support is already deprecated as noone

shouldn't remove existing code that supports it or refuse to take
reasonable patches but if enabling IO thread by default breaks it, so be
it.
As far as I see, Blue Swirl and Stefan Weil are regularly committing
fixes for win32. Stefan Weil is also providing win32 binaries on his
website [1]. I wouldn't call that deprecated.
Occasional compile fixes is a long way from something that is regularly
tested and well maintained.
Win32 still doesn't have a proper AIO implementation which is probably
close to a 4 year old FIXME.
