I think it's fine to make it a plan that we will have Windows tests on
for 2.0 GA, but at the moment we're focused on all the breaking changes
to the APIs and those are not Windows-relevant.

Please do that now - leave the passing Windows tests in place and ask
the Windows teams to enable further tests which we then add to the gate.

Blocking all trunk landings with a chunk of known-failing tests is not
good practice.
