Description nobody 2018-12-06 09:33:20 UTC 
VS2003, VS2005, VS2008, VS2010, DDK3790, UNIXGCC, GCC44, GCC45, GCC46, GCC47, ELFGCC, CYGGCC, ICC, ICC11, MYTOOLS are too old. There is no verification for them. I suggest to remove those changes in tools_def.template from edk2/master.

Community people still uses VS2008. So, keep it.

Pushed as commit range 46f4c9677c61..7423ba9d499b.

Note that the BZ must stay open at this point, since the above series addresses only a part of the scope. AIUI, Liming plans to handle the remaining ELFGCC/UNIXGCC/CYGGCC, various (but not all) VS*, DDK3790, and various ICC* toolchains.
