Code that I wrote 2 years ago in GCC 4.7, is still compiled with
the same compiler binary that I used to develop and test it. I
don't upgrade my tools until I'm not ready handle the risk of
change. But that doesn't prevent me from using the latest
version of the compiler for my latest project.
I also have projects still being built in Embedded Visual C++ 6
for the same reason.
If evolution of the language and tools is a risk, I don't think
it's wise to upgrade.
