I don't think we should switch the "official" compiler for a point release. I'm happy to say something like "we make the PCbuild8 environment a supported compiler", which means we need, at a bare minimum, a buildbot slave for that compiler/platform. Kristján, is this something you can offer? Without a buildbot for that compiler, I don't think we can claim it's supported. There's plenty of platforms we "support" which don't have buildslaves, but they're all variants of Unix - I'm happy that they are all mostly[1] sane.
