Do you have an opinion on the original change? The only contentious part of it seems to be dropping Visual C++ 7.0.
Well I'm sort of sitting on the fence ;-)
I suspect from a purely practical perspective, few libraries are still compatible with that compiler, so I'm inclined to agree we might as well drop support. Of course that opens a whole can of worms, because if we agreed to that then there's a whole slew of config macros (and associated workarounds) that can be removed.
How is that 'a can of worms' rather than 'a good thing' ? Thanks, Steve.
