[Development] Question about the Support of Windows Server 2016

[Schmertmann, Lars]

Hello together,

sadly we need to support Windows Server 2016 for a while in our
application (https://github.com/Governikus/AusweisApp) because the
extended support of Microsoft is given until Jan 12, 2027.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/windows-server-2016

While this was no problem in the past, Qt 6.8.0 introduced some changes
that let Qt stop working on Windows Server 2016.

There is a change that solves the issues (at least on a documentation
level): https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtbase/+/629255
With this mail I would like to ensure all people who could decide about
this change are aware of this change.

I would really appreciate it when the last public (source) release of
Qt 6.8 (6.8.3) would contain the changes at least in an inactive code
block as a documentation.

Or is it an realistic idea to question the support of Windows Server
2016 in general?

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Sincerely yours
Lars Schmertmann
