Agreed - I was susprised to see that the runtime was able to _break_ in any way due to 1:1: my assumption was that it can only get better. But I did not realize that the 1:1 boot flag also changed what was passed down, which probably explains the breakages. I'd even argue to not do this whole boot flag thing at all - just standardize on the Windows compatibility model as closely as possible.
