And in so doing, removed several APIs which were added in 3.7.12.1, breaking other packages which used them once they were made available. Compatibility with Windows shouldn't come before backwards compatibility for Cygwin packages.
Okay, that makes a second vote for principle in four months. (The other being Corinna's.) Add to that the original Achim Gratz vote for "Unix mode," which carries more weight since it was accompanied by an actual example of problems.
Over a shorter period, I've received 16 upvotes on my explanation[1] of the problem and its potential solutions. And, the invitation for comment I have at the end of that explanation has elicited no comment at all.
