The point is that some developers find the very need to make the
choice (eg, having to parse #ifdefs that refer to Windows-related
code) annoying, and would like to remove that support entirely from
the code.  You can't have "both in and out", and "in then out then in
then out" would make Emacs a laughingstock (not to mention being even
more annoying all around than parsing #ifdefs); someone must concede.
