[cfe-dev] [llvm-dev] Revisiting our informal policy to support two versions of MSVC

[James Molloy via cfe-dev]

Hi,

This sounds like a decent idea to me. However we use 2013 for all our
windows builds at the moment and it will take around 2 weeks to upgrade the
installations on our cluster. We're pushing this hard to get it done soon
so we don't get caught short, but a grace period would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

James
