End of Windows Vista support in GHC-8.6?

[Simon Jakobi]

Hi!

Given that Vista’s EOL was in April 2017
<https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/22882/windows-vista-end-of-support>
i assume that there’s no intention to keep supporting it in GHC-8.6!?

I’m asking because I intend to use a function
<https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd405488.aspx>
that requires Windows 7 or newer for #13362
<https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13362>.

Ending Vista support would also allow us to remove some workarounds
<https://github.com/ghc/ghc/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=Vista> mostly in RTS.

Best,
Simon
