Now we have rewritten the CI and it's pointing out actual issues in the compiler. And your suggestion is well let's just ignore it.
When is the last time Windows CI caught an actual bug? All I see is random system failures [1, 2, 3].
It must be catching *some* bugs, but that's a rare event in my experience.
It's unfortunately not nearly as rare as you would hope. However, it is likely that these cases aren't widely seen as I have been working on marking broken tests as expect_broken over the last few months. Only recently (for roughly a month now, IIRC) has Windows been a mandatory-green platform and it took a significant amount of effort and several false-starts to get to this point. Cheers, - Ben
