We wanted the w32 issues to be visible since we consider them important. 
I think that knowing the state of Emacs on w32 might be important to 
everyone interested in making a good release since whatever we think of 
w32 it is an important platform for many users. Many of those we are 
trying to reach are using this platform now (by force or will).
