That's fine, I just wanted to run that idea up the flagpole and see if anyone would salute. The important point is that no one has spoken against retiring 8.0-on-Windows now. (Don't tell me people actually listened to us when we said not to run production with it ;-)) What'd probably be a good idea is for someone to go through the CVS logs and check for 8.2 Windows portability fixes that have not gotten into the 8.1 branch. If we want to continue supporting 8.1 then we should make sure it's up to speed. I think there might have been some changes we didn't back-port because we hadn't enough confidence in them, but 8.2 has been out long enough now that we can be pretty sure it's not a regression. regards, tom lane
