Since ~9/01, after Shahim's refactor, 100% of the main pipeline has been in Python, so that already ensures platform independence.
Places where this is needed
However, with #105, some side-work is utilizing robot, makefile, etc. Likely in the future, more non-Python stuff will be added, and will likely work its way into being part of the main pipeline. Thus, platform independence will be lost, mainly for Windows.
