Is it, though? I feel like we're beyond the experimental stage now.

I clearly missed the discussion in which it was decided to remove the old MSVC++ support from the tree (and am disappointed about that as I would have objected loudly). Having recently started testing Meson on Windows when I realised that change had been made, and having to update builds for pgAdmin and the Windows installers, I think it's clear it's far more experimental on that platform than it is on Linux at least.
