So, I didn't take Chandler's words that literally, but even if you do, four previous releases means 2 whole years. Given current interest from Microsoft towards C++ compatibility in their compiler, and the capacity they have of getting things done (basically, money), I'd be surprised if they'd fall behind for that long.</div>

I think the question here is whether or not it's reasonable for this change and less whether or not it's reasonable as a path for each release to then deprecate everything more than 2 years old. I'd like to get rid of VS2010 because I want the features of 2012 and few of the current people developing on windows have spoken up (and most of them positively), but you do quite a bit of work and maintenance with windows so your thoughts are definitely important here. Do you think it's reasonable?</div>
