The "hoops" are not unreasonable.  It's a short set of filenames:

aux{,.*}
clock${,.*}
com[1-9]{,.*}
con{,.*}
lpt[1-9]{,.*}
prn{,.*}
filenames with characters from the set [<>:"/\\|]

Cleaning this up did not impact us significantly; it's Done already.

You made your point.  We (== developers with commit access) rejected your
point, because some of us actually do care about cross-development on the
OS in question.  Please stop ranting now so we can focus on constructive
work.
