There are no immediate plans for this AFAIK. We're still using VS2010 as
the compiler for our official builds. We were investigating VS2013 to
replace it since 2013 ships with a 64 bit -> 32 bit cross toolchain,
which would alleviate our PGO memory usage woes permanently, but in the
meantime between the "include what you use" and unified build work the
PGO linker memory usage has gone way down anyway, so it's not pressing.

Historically we haven't updated toolchains without a pressing reason,
since there's a lot of hassle involved. Is there a specific reason
you're asking?
