I think we cannot really drop QNX 6.5.0 support. Many companies are
still using it even for new products. Embedded companies are not that
fast yet and most secure products cannot use newer technologies, same
applies for medical products. So if we want to support a big portion
of the embedded market we cannot drop either MSVC 2008 and gcc 4.4
support.

Thank you

Andy
