Yes, this change would be very unfortunate from mingw-w64 point of view. I can understand preferring IDLs for new files even when MS chose differently, but since the price of open coding those was already payed, I don't think the change is worth it.
Hmm, well, it doesn't seem impossible to tweak widl output enough so that the headers match?
Thing is, the IDLs are easier to read, they're smaller, they avoid bugs by using static inline helpers instead of macros, and even when the header has already been written there's been errors that come from writing by hand (e.g. bb9e54808c, 60c4fbda45).
If it's not possibly going to be worthwhile, I'll drop it, though...
