That’s why it doesn’t make sense to support an OS platform that the original vendor (MS) no longer supports themselves.

It's not really our place to police that ... plus it's perfectly safe to
be running Bitcoin Core as a full node on XP. It's just the wallet

powerful enough to run Bitcoin Core, and use the wallet functionality.

    Okay, so we simply stop supporting it.  Should bitcoin pull support
    altogether?
