I see two practical outcomes of such a mandate:

* line-ending rules are enforced for local checkins, even for linux 
users, even though such 'accidental' inappropriate line-ending checkins 
should be much rarer than for windows.

* practical problems faced by Windows users, including any performance 
considerations, are shared by the community and therefore addressed as a 
community, thereby ensuring all platforms are considered as important as 
any other.

Cheers,

Mark
