As we're planning on raising the minimum Windows version to Windows 7 for LLVM 3.8 as per this discussion (there have been no objections I'm aware of so far even after advertising the discussion in LLVM weekly):

I'd like to add a release note to mention this fact.  I've put it under the list of changes in this release although it's actually a notification of a future change.
