Should we update the Windows 10 VMs at some point? Do we want to keep
the old versions around?

I am absolutely in favor of upgrading them, and I've argued for this in
February, in particular because newer Windows versions fix some test
problems we have.

At the time Francois said that it breaks many other tests, so there was
resistance against this change. In the meantime I'm doing my part and
making sure that the d3d tests work on the newer versions...

Actually, I think the remark I made at the time was more general, i.e. 
that usually when I upgrade a TestBot VM we get new failures which 
somehow makes Wine developers unhappy. So I've refrained from 
unsolicited upgrades a bit.

Also they are a bit of a hassle, though a bit less now that they won't 
require a restart of the TestBot server.

But I'm not specifically against upgrading the Windows 10 VM. So I'll
schedule it some time soon.
