what versions of Windows has this been tested on ? Just wondering if the deletion of the old dual stack winXP based code could have on the older windows OS platforms?
afaik current set of supported windows OS platforms, from the ATR list, are : 
            windows server 2019,
            windows server 2022,
            windows server  2016,
            windows 10,
            windows 11,
            windows 8,
            windows server2012,
            windows server 2012R2

some of these may be retired for LTS JDK21, but for the moment they are in the mix.
We'll need to schedule test runs for all these.

Also we will have to arrange some IPv6 only test runs for this prior to any integration -- that takes a bit of time to arrange the resources to be setup and to schedule the runs.
