Hi Jeffrey,

Thanks for taking the time to answer. Please read below inline.

I see. So I'll switch to a later version as Ben suggested and see what
happens. Hopefully we won't have to reinvent the wheel.

This statement is a bit distrurbing.

Do you mean that given the state of things, even if Windows buildbots
start springing back to life and binaries for current OpenAFS versions
become availble, no later version than the already built and signed
1.7.3301 can be installed on Win10 and later? Will Win7 be ok at least?

Do you consider the whole effort to revive the Windows port is in vain?
Or is there something the the Foundation is planning to do in order to
move forward again on the Windows platform?

Thanks,

-K.
