Creating a separate release would create even more overhead than trying to support it now. It's hard enough to get all of our test cases covered without creating a whole different release for it. <smile/>
That said, I generally agree with your statement about Windows XP being on it *support* deathbed. Unfortunately, last numbers I saw showed Windows XP as the second most popular operating system (after Win7) in the world by a large margin. If my numbers are off, please point me at a reputable source with better numbers and we can consider killing Windows XP... I just don't see that happening in the next 5 years (although I'd love to be wrong).
