However, considering that version 4.0 will not be released anytime soon, [absolutely NO SUPPORT for it from the VideoLAN Team](https://nightlies.videolan.org/) before its release, and that VideoLAN also provides GCC builds, I suspect that there are likely few or no _end users_ who will be **affected** by LLVM's decision to drop Windows 7 support. In this case, LLVM's downstream users should perhaps reconsider their platform support policies rather than passing the burden onto LLVM.
