<p class="MsoNormal">Probably not. It's very confusing because they are transitioning to a new versioning scheme. The current version if Visual Studio 2015. The next version is Visual Studio 15. The link you posted was for the RTM of 2015, just over a year
ago. But 15 is still in Preview. When 15 goes to RTM, then we can revisit the question of making 2015 the minimum required version.<o:p></o:p></p>

Hah, that is confusing!<br>

I think that's a great time to revisit the question (transitioning<br>
sometimes takes a bit of time since we want to ask people with out of<br>
tree needs if they're ready before dropping support for major<br>
releases).<o:p></o:p></p>
