I'd say it all depends on the implementation/maintenance cost.
 From Graeme's previous endeavour, and from the upcoming libusbK.sys 
being win2k compatible, as libusb0.sys, implementing win2k support 
shouldn't be too costly in time. If it can help our users, we might as 
well go for it.

But we might adopt the YMMV approach of MinGW-w64, so that we can avoid 
(ideally) testing each release on Win2k, to see if the latest changes 
break anything.

Not a priority right now, but something we can look into when we have 
nothing better to do.
