These threads for better or worse are your job advertisement for other Windows devs that might be interested in helping out. They will take one look at this thread and decide that Kodi is more focused on other platforms and that Windows devs and there ideas / suggestions are poorly received and therefore go elsewhere. Not saying this would necessarily be the case, but it is the perception that is being created.

Every Windows dev, every linux dev needs to know - that kodi is developed as a platform for multiple architectures. If a future dev wants to make special things for platform A - that would only bloat platform B or decay the given architecture further - then he can nicely fork kodi and do his own thing.

But I don't stay that argument, that working long years without even contacting team kodi at all and then being disappointed when a solely standing monolite is not merged with a big hurray ...

Edit: What I forgot: We can also drop platforms - when they are not maintained / used anymore.
