The 2026 Drupal Business Survey is open. Your response will help shape the future of the Drupal business ecosystem.I use drush through cygwin too many times a day. Is there a way for me to turn off the maintainer warning (see below) without modifying the drush files?:
Maintainer Warning:
"Drush has significant limitations on Windows. We seek a co-maintainer to remedy them."
Is this something that can be changed in the drush.rc.php file?

greg.1.anderson commentedIf you are using drush with Windows, you should be using 5.x-dev. It is also a good idea to read all of the docs when using an unsupported configuration; the answer to your question above can be found in examples.drushrc.php in the "examples" folder.

greg.1.anderson commentedHere is an untested suggestion. I'll try on Windows later; feedback on approach and message appreciated.
Note that I changed the nag check, so that people running 4.x who previously disabled the message will start getting nagged again, but will still have a way to turn it off again if they wish. Hm, seems the default value for drush_get_option should be a string, not a TRUE; otherwise we get the wrong comparison result w/ type conversion. I'll fix that when I test on Windows.
