Re: Windows XP support

Which is why it would be nice if maintainers clarified what are the
plans in the future, so at least we can get an idea of what to expect.

Of course features only present in newer OSes shouldn't be expected to
work in older ones, it's more of a question of whether programs will
keep working on old systems if you upgrade the library (which is bound
to happen e.g. if somebody rebuilds the program and the library was
obtained from the site rather than bundled with the program itself).
