The risk *seems* reasonably low, people on non-Windows platforms are unlikely to touch those files and they are unlikely to be edited by hand, and if the cost of fixing the problem is low it seems reasonable to migrate earlier rather than later.
IMO the risk is negligible, due to the aformentioned precautions.
Qualifying this somewhat: the *technical* risk is negligible.
As for the social risk, that's a different story.
That was also my sentiment. These issues seem to be overestimated, or perceived as a lack of care for the Windows platform.
This perception is wrong, I do care as much as others about the Windows platform. It's just that having to manually run a script from time to time if your editor screws up is not a big deal. I have to do it myself, when SVN refuses my commit and tells me to run Tools/reindent.py.
It is also why it doesn't sound reasonable to involve PSF money just for such a psychological issue. But it's not my money anyway ;)
