Windows Server 2019 in UNH CI Testing?

[Patrick Robb]

Hello Tyler,

Windows Server 2019 mainstream end  of support date is January 2024,
and extended end of support date is January 2029.

Currently at UNH we have two VMs (windows server 2019 and 2022) both
running the Clang-LLVM & MinGW-64 compile jobs.

The server 2022 machine also runs the custom MSVC compile jobs that we
set up in Fall 2023.

So, with Windows Server 2019 reaching end of regular support, should
we discontinue CI on this system, or maintain it until (potentially)
2029 when it reaches end of extended support?

I am okay with either, I just don't necessarily understand how
significant the regular vs extended support distinction is, and
whether the results from the older system are still valuable for
developers.

Cheers.

-Patrick
