But that's your choice if you are the developer of a program. You could look at it another way and say by keeping up your standards you are bringing better UI concepts / timezone handling / whatever to Windows users.

Anyway there is nothing in the Fedora MinGW work which prevents you from #ifdef'ing pieces of code, or even removing troublesome features from the Windows port entirely.
