Right, that's what I expected, I'm guessing the expectation is that it'll be 
supported for years. 

We need to prioritize moving towards modern C++. The C++ world is changing.We 
cannot be stuck on a compiler that has only a minimal set of C++11 features, 
if we want Qt to stay relevant.

So, I'm against making WEC2013 a supported platform.
