[Insight-developers] Visual Studio 6.0

[Gaëtan Lehmann]

Hi,

Why are we waiting to remove the support for that compiler?
Dropping the support for vs6 doesn't mean that people who are using  
vs6 won't be able to use ITK, only that they won't be able to use the  
newer version of ITK.

Following that idea, and if there is no other constrain (like imposed  
compiler support, or a too huge number of users of vs6), another  
option is to drop vs6 support as soon as possible, and then backport  
bug fixes to the last branch to support vs6 for some time, so people  
can have enough time to switch to a newer compiler version.

Would it be possible to proceed that way?

Gaëtan
