Raising issues is always useful and appropriate.  It's up to Larry
Hastings to decide whether he personally needs to do more work.

I suspect he probably will, though.  I knew these changes were risky
on the lead time given, even though I don't do Windows, and I'm not a
core Python developer.  I would hope that Steve Dower and Larry were
at least as well aware of what they were getting into, and there are a
lot of Windows users we *want* to support well.  (*Not* "have to", and
YMMV.  But the Python developer community clearly has a working
consensus on supporting Windows well.)
