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

That&#8217;s why it doesn&#8217;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

such a small intersection of people who are running XP, have systems
powerful enough to run Bitcoin Core, and use the wallet functionality.
