[Bf-committers] Promoting MSVC 2015 builds as official

Hey everyone,

We've got MSVC 2015 libraries and buildbot for quite some time now. While
there are some compilation errors time to time on buildbot, they don't seem
to be MSVC 2015 specific at all.

Is there any reason NOT to make MSVC 2015 a default one for Blender? This
will include:

- Removing MSVC 2013 builders from buildbot. As a benefit users wouldn't be
confused whether they should go with 2013 or 2015 builds.
- Moving focus to MSVC 2015 libraries, which will save us time form
maintaining and testing MSVC 2013 libraries.
- If nobody from community steps up for the 2013 libraries maintenance
those libraries will fade out naturally as it happened when we switched
from 2008 to 2013.

Any thoughts?
