Since more than 10 years we do ship two binaries for the very same purpose in our isos:
msconfig and msconfig_new.
msconfig_new was an attempt to refactor the old tool, but it got stuck rather soon
and is bloating our isos since then, and consuming build-time.
My testing shows that the older version is superior in many ways
compared to that refactoring attempt: see CORE-18067 for examples of some bugs.
Personally I think focusing on the older tool exclusively would make more sense
than trying to improve that refactoring proposal.
But since one never knows what the future might bring and I did not want to step on anyones toes,
I decided to just disable the build and iso-integration of the unfinished one meanwhile,
instead of dumping it entirely. Although my feeling is that after 10years of waiting
it's not worth waiting another 10 years with that.

Or when we did not use code7bit yet (we started that with 0.4.12).

0.4.15-dev-413-g ed7196d964 [TASKMGR] Remove 'Debug Channels' feature, which is Wine-specific
0.4.15-dev-2488-g fd4d8f550c [TASKMGR] id-ID.rc, just the single line in this module
[USER32] GetQueueStatus() should not return 0 when passing QS_ALLINPUT flag that includes QS_RAWINPUT (#4115)
GTK applications call GetQueueStatus(QS_ALLINPUT), where QS_ALLINPUT
specifies the QS_RAWINPUT flag as well, when these are compiled for
Windows XP+, and they expect the call to succeed on this platform.
On one side, ReactOS does not currently support this flag at all, but
since it claims to be XP/2003-compatible, applications may implicitly
expect the flag to be supported by GetQueueStatus() and the function
*NOT* failing when this flag is set.
(Later GTK apps don't care and just call GetQueueStatus(QS_ALLINPUT)
that includes QS_RAWINPUT, and therefore would fail as well on e.g.
Windows 2000...)
Otherwise, an observable effect is that some versions of libgdk-win32-2.0.0.dll
enter into an infinite loop when calling GetQueueStatus(QS_ALLINPUT),
since this call always failed on ReactOS.
On the other side, however, we should honour our winetests that handle
the presence of the QS_RAWINPUT flag and behave differently accordingly.
But since we do not support QS_RAWINPUT yet, we should keep their old
behaviour where QS_RAWINPUT is unused.
Thus, in order to accomodate both sides, we don't fail the GetQueueStatus()
call, but just set the ERROR_INVALID_FLAGS last error and continue it.

which was unhidden by 0.4.12-dev-824-g d57f7becc3 .
That specific and most important fix

We left out the additional WIN32SS-hardening in this context in the backport to older
releases for now.
Then I looked further in sndrec32 and compared each file of that module on master
head with both: current 0.4.14RC and also current 0.4.7rls and found the rare
situation that I liked each and every change within since 2017.
Specifically this will also backport (#2754), and various translation PRs, whitespace-cleanup,
and (for older releases than 0.4.14RC) it will also bring some x64-improvements.
So I decided to take everything from current master head except the changes in CMakeLists.txt
because that subset is applicable and a win for all ros releases down to 0.4.7.

This prevents the tracking menu from erroneously closing itself right after it was opened in some cases.

And fixes CORE-15760 which got unhidden by SVN r74972 == git 19dd22d422
Since both symptoms look very similar but the unhiding revisions did differ,
that could mean we do have some kind of race condition here.
I guess this fix is more like a workaround.

Hide everything under the same foreground & background colors, so that
the actual color and text blanking reset does not create a visual "blinking".
Then, blank the text and finally reset the actual foreground &
background colors.
We do this because we cannot do the screen scrolling trick that would
allow to change both the text and the colors at the same time (the
function is currently not available in our console "emulation" layer).

Dedicated to the hard work of Joachim Henze! xD
This reverts part of commit 043a98dd (see also commit b2aeafca).
Contrary to what I assumed in commit 043a98dd (and was also assumed in
the older commit b2aeafca), we cannot use the singled-linked lists to
queue and dequeue the PnP device-install events, because:
- the events must be treated from the oldest to the newest ones, for
consistency, otherwise this creates problems, as shown by e.g. CORE-16103;
- the system singled-linked lists only offer access to the top of the
list (like a stack) instead of to both the top and the bottom of the
list, as would be required for a queue. Using the SLISTs would mean
that only the newest-received events would be treated first, while the
oldest (which were the first received) events would be treated last,
and this is wrong.
Therefore one must use e.g. the standard doubly-linked list. Also, using
locked operations (insertion & removal) on the list of device-install
events is necessary, because these operations are done concurrently by
two different threads: PnpEventThread() and DeviceInstallThread().
Since the interlocked linked list functions are not available in user-mode,
we need to use instead locking access through e.g. a mutex.

CORE-16274
SETUPLIB:
=========
- Find the system partition initially when we create the list of
partitions.
- Split the old CheckActiveSystemPartition() helper in two helpers:
FindSupportedSystemPartition() and SetActivePartition(). This allows
simplifying slightly the former one, and allows the user, in an
interactive situation, to decide whether the "supported system
partition" found can actually be used or not.
- Remove the "OriginalSystemPartition" hack in the PARTLIST structure.
- Add a note regarding the SystemPartition member in PARTLIST.
USETUP:
=======
- Use the introduced helpers from above. If the "system" partition we
are going to use, in case we install ReactOS on a fixed disk, is *NOT*
the same as the original one (e.g. because it is detected to be not
supported by ReactOS...), display an informative screen to the user
and let him confirm whether or not he wants to change the partition.
If we install on a fixed disk, try to find a supported system partition
on the system. Otherwise if we install on a removable disk, use the
install partition as the system partition instead.
This allows providing a fix for CORE-16274.
SETUPLIB:
=========
- Remove useless HiddenSectors member in PARTENTRY structure.
- InsertDiskRegion() helper returns a BOOLEAN success.
- CreateInsertBlankRegion() helper sets LogicalPartition.
- Simplify the InitializePartitionEntry() helper so that its PartEntry
parameter is clearly the one that is being initialized (i.e. converted
from a blank region to) an actual partition, and use the helper
CreateInsertBlankRegion(). The calculations for the StartSector and
SectorCount are exactly equivalent with the old version of this
function. Also make it return a BOOLEAN success instead.
+ Add some extra validation checks.
+ Adjust CreatePrimaryPartition(), CreateExtendedPartition() and
CreateLogicalPartition() in this regard.
- Better handling of "RAW"-mounted partitions: treat them as
"Unformatted" only if they are RAW *AND* their PartitionType is one of
those associated with FAT file-system. Otherwise we cannot decide
whether they are indeed unformatted or have an unknown file-system on
them, therefore treat them as the latter.
In this regard, the IsSupportedActivePartition() helper should not
look for FileSystem == RAW but instead only look whether the partition
is Unformatted.
This should help with situations similar to the one described in CORE-16274
where a partition with a genuine file-system but not recognized by
ReactOS (because we currently do not have the EXT2/3/4 filesystem
driver loaded during 1st-stage setup due to commit 5a650f6b) and
therefore mounted as RAW, was thought to be unformatted.
USETUP:
=======
- Use the "global" SystemPartition pointer: this is the "system"
partition we will actually use. It can be different from the actual
one of the computer, for example when we install ReactOS on a
removable disk. This allows also to simplify the code.
- Remove the single-used DestinationDriveLetter variable.
- Remove BuildInstallPaths() helper and use InitDestinationPaths()
directly instead.
- Always mention the disk where the partition being formatted is.
- Cleanup old code comments, add assertions here & there...
