I think keeping "toolchain compatibility" along a 4.6.x (patch) series is an acceptable approach, and changing to the latest developer tools upon a minor (e.g. 4.6 to 4.7) step. For all other use cases one can always compile and customise Qt. One could still argue about "security related issues" which were solved by this "ATL hotfix" delivered by MS, when to intoduce those...

Cheers, Oliver
