Sawada-san has mentioned on twitter that fdd8937 is not mentioned in
the release notes, and it seems to me that he is right.  This is
described as a bug in the commit log, but it did not get backpatched
because of the lack of complaints.  Also, because we've removed
support for anything older than Windows 10 in PG16, this change very
easy to do.
