This adds an unnecessary ReactOS-specific diff to a file that was 
perfectly in sync with Wine 6.0 before, just for supporting an old 
compiler that has not only been abandoned by us, but obviously also 
upstream.

Being able to source this file unmodified (and eventually sourcing all 
of comctl32 automatically via a Git submodule/subpath/repo xml file) 
beats any such hack.
I therefore call for a revert.

Even worse than all of that, this commit has been silently sneaked on 
top of a PR without any review!
Joachim, you love to criticize the instability of the master branch, yet 
continue to ignore basic development practices we have established.

And this isn't happening for the first time. Another example is 
https://github.com/reactos/reactos/commit/889eab78ca7c0f17a2ada9ff20de5807a293cdfe 
where you disable sanity checks and create a diff to upstream. All 
without reviews and all just for your private goal of reducing the 
binary size of debug builds, something that is not important at the 
current stage of ReactOS.

I would love to see PRs for your ideas, and then we can discuss 
everything that hasn't been decided before (i.e. not VS2010 support again).
But if this doesn't stop, I have no chance other than removing your push 
access to the GitHub repo, as everything else would mean condoning that 
uncooperative behavior.


Best regards,

Colin
