I don't think that the Win32 target maintainers would want to break
working under W2K on purpose, but it's difficult to guarantee support for
such a version if it isn't used and tested by the respective FPC
developers regularly. On the other hand, anyone interested in support for
such a version may decide to keep testing the trunk version and report any
possible issues as soon as they arise, so that possible options for
resolution may be discussed.
