Apologies to authors of the PSP document. We do have this as part of "minimum requirement": * Has active security support (taking security releases of dependencies, etc) So, being implicit about dropping 8.1, while it may be less than nice as we could, is perhaps fine. If we wanted to support a tad older releases that are still used widely, that is fine as well. I didn't check what additional documents and policies GfW (Git for Windows) project says about this issue, so perhaps it is all documented there, in which case our PSP document is fine as-is, too. In other words, if GfW project takes responsibility of supporting ports for an older release that is out of support, what our PSP document says does not matter.
