I appreciate the advice, but sorry, I like to live dangerously, I guess. ;-)

I have used vanilla GNU Emacs with Cygwin for decades, and I have no plans to
change that.

Yes, I am aware of the arguments and admonitions against it, esp. from Eli, and
I do not say that such are wrong.  But I am not interested, sorry.

My use of Cygwin is quite limited.  I do no code development, for example (other
than piddling around with Emacs Lisp for fun).

Please do not sidetrack this bug thread.  Bring that topic up in emacs-devel if
you want to.  Thx.

(FWIW, I, for one, am not interested in a Cygwin Emacs.)
