It would also be good to clearly document the status of all tool chain tags in a few places:
https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/BaseTools/Conf/tools_def.template https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/Readme.md The status I can think of are: 1) Actively used by EDK II CI. This is already implied by the "Build Status" table in Readme.md, but we need to make sure it is updated if EDK II CI adds/removes use of tool chain tags. 2) Actively supported by the community. Meaning all reported bugs must be fixed. 3) Unsupported. Meaning the tool chain tag is in tools_def.txt and developers are welcome to use it, but if something breaks, the developer that sees the issue can make the choice to fix it or not. I think the specific question about VS2012 here is if anyone has any objections if status of VS2012 is changed from Actively Supported to Unsupported.

If no body uses VS2012, I would like to ignore this issue. I send this mail to collect information whether you are using VS2012.
