Having just filed my fourth "MSVC2012 is busted" bug since we dropped support for 2010 a few weeks ago, I'm wondering what the point of even supporting 2012 is? Are there any licensing/OS support/etc advantages to keeping it around vs. just leaving 2013 as our only supported compiler? Because there's certainly a non-zero cost to supporting it at this point.
I'll give this thread another day for feedback for people who may have been away for the holidays, then I'll file the bug. Ideally we should get this done before next Monday's uplift so we don't jerk people around with dropping MSVC compiler support in two consecutive Gecko releases.
Also, IIUC, this also means we can drop support for any Windows SDK <8.1. So that's nice too.
