Re: What I would say if someone asked me about no win32

People,

My answer:

A. PostgreSQL has a well-deserved reputation for "bulletproof" reliability and
stability, which requires each new patch and plug-in to pass stringent
community testing.  The Win32 platform has proved to be more of a challenge
than we anticipated in this regard, and we would rather release our Windows
port late than release a version which might fail in production environments.

But, Bruce, since you're head of the port, wanna comment on this?  We're
trying to prepare a "canned" answer for the inevitable questions.
