Can you please ask them to not use variadic templates too? That also seems to require MSVC 2013.

Type aliasing requires 2013, but we can probably keep them from using that for

I was thinking it would be nice to support VS2010 as long as any of our main

no practical justification for that. If it causes a burden on Skia work then it 
might be reasonable to switch sooner.

What MS compiler does that list require? There's a number of people building 
with VS2012, would that still be supported?

After some discussion some IRC it was clear that our compiler deprecation
schedule is not very clear.

Now that we’re using VS2013 on trunk and will soon not being using GCC 4.4
for B2G, I expect we’ll be dropping support for building with VS2010 and
GCC 4.4  in the near term.

GCC is https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1077549.  No specific
bug or plans for MSVC2010, but I'd be open to killing support for it on
the next release train.

This is important to us because Skia is planing on using more C++11
features in the near term and we’d like to continue updating from
upstream. Are there reasons we can’t drop support for these compilers in
the 37-38 time frame?

What C++11 features specifically?
