Well as someone who has literally thousands of windows installations
(thank goodness we are not front line support for that). It would be
very helpful if the community did make a confirmed and public statement
about the lifespan of the Windows ports.

It would enable me to get certain customers to upgrade and stop wasting
energy on hunting bugs on unsupported or unlikely to be supported releases.
