Personally I consider it too early to remove VS2017 (and VS2019).

I also see many references to VS2015, VS2017, and GCC5 in the edk2 repo

These should be addressed in an independent set of PRs before removing
the toolchains from toolsdef.
The UefiPayloadPkg comments suggest you should discuss with those
Maintainers to make sure the validation has moved to newer tool chains.
Similar searches should be performed on all other TianoCore repos and
updated as needed.

All of them including GCC 4.8 and 4.9?

Hi Rebecca,
Yes. I have collected feedback. I have found some use of these
toolchains.
I do not have a date when the move to newer toolchains will be
completed.

Hi Mike,
I was wondering if you'd been able to collect any feedback or
review
the
proposal?

Hi,
I will need more time to review this impacts of this proposal.
Can we extend the timeline for comments to mid November.
Thanks,
Mike

In addition, since GCC48, GCC49 and GCC5 have been marked
deprecated
for
over a year, I'd like to proceed with removing them as well.
Please provide feedback by Thursday October 31st. In the absence
of
feedback I'll plan to proceed with removing VS2015, GCC48, GCC49
and
GCC5.
No comment on the VS ones, but for the GCC ones, I'm all for it.
We might also want to raise an issue on deleting workarounds put
into
place for ancient toolchains.
For gcc48/49 that was redundant initialization due to broken
use-uninitialized detection.
e.g.
https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/OvmfPkg/Library/X86QemuLoa
dImageLib/X86QemuLoadImageLib.c#L346
