I agree with you. Lib/distutils/msvc9compiler.py still only have one 
top level DistutilsPlatformError,

VERSION = get_build_version()
if VERSION < 8.0:
    raise DistutilsPlatformError("VC %0.1f is not supported by this 
module" % VERSION)

but it's not guranteed in future. How abount the new patch?
