This is why I wrote 'If I misgot this' as I have that very understanding
the windows code stays where it is, get patches as they are developed,
just noone of 'the community' provides precompiled binaries. Just like
noone provides precompiled debian binaries for current bacula. But if I
like to, I can provide windows binaries or debian binaries. And if I
find errors in the windows code, patch it and stick to the coding style
and FLA I'd expect it to be included into the community edition source.

Indeed, that is how I understand it.
