[Roberto Carlos González Flores <iscrobertogonzalez@xxxxxxxxx>]

As a CoApp consumer (sys admin in your user story) – do you have a
requirement to build with a specific version of VS, even if it differs from
what a project was originally intended to be built with?

If I would be a user or sysadmin I would hate to build with a VS(200X,20XX),
its a huge thing to compile/build my applications, :S.
