There may be others I am missing.

should we still support PCRE1?

While Git for Windows has no problem to just drop PCRE1 support, I would
like to take a longer road in Git. Like, deprecate it first (I don't
know how to do that effectively, though, as packagers usually ignore
compile warnings, maybe we need to add a Makefile knob
YES_I_WANT_TO_BUILD_WITH_PCRE1_INSTEAD_OF_PCRE2 and
YES_I_WILL_STATE_MY_REASONS_ON_THE_GIT_MAILING_LIST or something like
that).

Ciao,
