The security concerns of XP aren't Python's problem, and Python isn't
in the business of twisting people's arms to make them upgrade just
for the sake of upgrading. However, every new version of Windows
introduces new APIs and features, so maintaining support for an older
version means ignoring all features added since then; conversely,
dropping support for XP means taking advantage of anything that was
added in Vista. That's why the change in support.
