I think it is a great idea.

I personally think we should drop vs6 for future versions.   My
understanding is that some people have VS6-specific code that is part
of, for example, an FDA-approved product, so they must stick with VS6
- but if it is FDA approved, they shouldn't be upgrading ITK.

Regardless, however, ITK policy is to maintain vs6 support.   It
should be a major effort to change vs6 support or any other aspect of
ITK policy.   Perhaps this should be an ISC board vote.   Probably
should do a user survey.

Volunteers for conducting a user survey?   Would have to make sure the
survey is defined fairly - not certain an email to the users lists is
sufficient.   Not certain how to do it well at this time...
