[Scons-users] Is the warning about missing pywin32 extensions on parallel builds still needed?

[Erling D. Andersen]

Everything is working fine using Python 2.7.

However, I do not understand why the latest Scons prints out:

scons: warning: you do not seem to have the pywin32 extensions installed;
        parallel (-j) builds may not work reliably with open Python files

on Windows. That seems a legacy issue and the warning is no longer needed.
So why not remove it?
