BDR and PostgreSQL 12 and Windows support

I've seen that BDR may be rolled into core PostgreSQL version 12 and was
wondering if anyone knows if that BDR support will be extended to Windows
or if it will remain a non-WIndows feature.

I've been waiting for years for multi master support in PostgreSQL on
Windows. Surely if it's being added to the main code base it'll have to be
supported on every platform? Are there any core features at the moment that
are Linux only?

JIT, introduced in Postgres 11, comes to mind

A better question should be, are there any production users of PG on Windows :-)

Not funny for those who HAS TO run PG on Windows.
Let's not start "OS wars" here. Windows is one of the platforms Postgres supports.

JIT is not Linux only.

It currently does not work on Windows AFAIK, but it does work on a number
of other non-Linux OSes.

And there are other things that don't work on Windows, such as e.g. peer
authentication. They are significantly more minor features though.
