Earlier in the week, Team Kodi rolled out an update for Kodi 18 Leia, and also a major new version of the upcoming Kodi 19 Matrix, which included a switch to Python3.
At the time, the developers warned that the addition of Python3 was a "breaking change" for the popular home theater software, and would stop lots of add-ons from working.

The switch to the new version of Python means a lot of work to get things functional again, and "this has brought the lack of experience of (or even interest in) developing on the Windows platforms in the team to a crisis."
What this means is the team is very short of active developers who can develop and deploy C++ applications on Windows platforms [...]

The team says: "Bottom line, without developer interest, the likelihood of there being a UWP release for v19 is slim, and v20 would be zero."
