After some discussion some IRC it was clear that our compiler deprecation

Now that we’re using VS2013 on trunk and will soon not being using GCC 4.4 for
B2G, I expect we’ll be dropping support for building with VS2010 and GCC 4.4
in the near term.
This is important to us because Skia is planing on using more C++11 features in
the near term and we’d like to continue updating from upstream. Are there
reasons we can’t drop support for these compilers in the 37-38 time frame?
I can't speak to the GCC issue, but we intend to continue support for
MSVC2010 at least through the 36 train, in case a regression is found
which is serious enough to cause us to revert. If there are no serious
issues found, I think it is reasonable to require MSVC2013 in six weeks.
If we do that, I'd want somebody to actually make 2010 fail early in
configure.
