Hi,
if I want to download prebuilt Qt binaries for the UWP platform then I can choose between 32-bit and 64-bit flavors of both MSVC 2015 and MSVC 2017.

It should be possible to offer the same variety for the Win32 versions, especially since I think the # of downloads for the Win32 Qt versions exceed the # of downloads for the UWP platform (for example, UWP requires Windows 10, but Win32 versions also work on Windows 7 and 8).

This dedication to dropping MSVC2015x32 seems quite stange after the whole controversy of dropping MSVC2013 and how many people prefered to tread very carefully and slowly.

Unlike msvc 2013, 15th compiler is way better and doesn't restrain Qt codebase nearly as much

    Hi,

    Currently Qt ships with 32-bit binaries for MSVC 2015, but not for
    MSVC 2017. The Qt Company have received requests for adding prebuilt
    32-bit binaries also for MSVC 2017. By adding more prebuilt
    binaries, we increase the complexity, and add to the overall
    maintenance of our QA system. Our preferred approach would be to add
    binaries for MSVC 2017 and remove the binaries for MSVC 2015, as the
    numbers of binaries in the build remains the same. It will still be
    possible to manually build Qt for MSVC 2015, in the same way as it
    is possible to manually build for MSVC 2017 today. Feedback and
    viewpoints are much appreciated and will enable us to make the best
    possible decision.
