Thank you for continuing to support them for so long.
Jon Turney and I were discussing that XWin still has code paths for
Windows 2000.
It's not that XWin checks the Windows version; it checks if a Windows
OS feature is available, and that feature was implemented in XP/2003.
Needless to say, those XWin code paths should be cleaned up. I don't
want to hijack this email thread though.

(I tried to send this email 4 days ago from my Android phone's GMail
app, but the app tried to send some weird combination of plaintext +
HTML. Thus sourceware rejected it for containing HTML. So I am resending
this email from Thunderbird, and CC'ing Jon this time.)
