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.
