That's not bikeshedding. It was you who suggested using EOL dates. If you're 
going to use EOL dates, one would think you'd need to know what these dates 
actually are.

Dropping 7.1 and 8.0 seems entirely reasonable to me, even though I don't 
know what specifically do you mean by "supported in boost".

(I still test locally on msvc-8.0, but don't require support from others.)
