Hi Thomas,

Sure, `winpty` is not the culprit.
Actually, as it turns out, winpty *is* the culprit. I've raised winpty issue https://github.com/rprichard/winpty/issues/140 about it. 
But running certain software (such as Maven) through `winpty` is *not* as unproblematic as we would want.

Therefore, it would make sense *not* to make it the default. Unless you
have a really good strategy in mind how to communicate this change to
users in a way that lets them know about this issue and how to work around it.
Assuming, we're getting winpty tweaked as to the above issue, any further concerns? 
Cheers
Thomas
