I would suggest that Paul at least takes a look at how non-Posix platforms build Emacs, to avoid similar breakage in the future. There's no requirement for taking care of those platforms whenever such changes are installed, but at least announcing the expected problems and asking for ways of implementing the change that would minimize the work to unbreak them, would be nice.
