Actually, that is not "ideal", but what I want to avoid.

As I do not do Windows, it simply is wrong for me to apply changes
that are very likely to affect Windows folks without seeing their
support first, which they may end up having to revert on their end
and endlessly carry that revert forward.  That is why I very much
prefer to see changes get there first and then forwarded in my
direction once they are happy with them.

I think Ramsay is still around on the list; I do not know if he
still does Windows, though.
