This is new news for me.

If the developer who broke the msvc build receives a nastygram, would he
urged to fix it when he has no msvc compiler and probably no Windows
machine either? The "don't break the build" mantra applies to *nix
only. No LLVM developer will be bashed for breaking the msvc build.
Which is understandable: the pain of multiple compiler C++ support is
too much for mere mortals.

Anyways, that buildbot only checks one msvc compiler (right?). It is not
infrequent a broken build on some compiler version for a long time.
