Comment:

 Yes while it's reverted there's no rush. Usually if you don't have a
 distribution set up you can just ask someone to test it for you. If
 there's no issues then you save the time having to set up those distros.

 Let me know if you need any help setting up a Windows build. I also have a
 powershell script that would automate the entire thing if you want.
