Are there reasons we can’t drop support for these compilers in the

Firefox 38 will become the next ESR. I don't know if that means we
should drop old compilers *before* the ESR or after, but it should
probably inform the decision.
Why?
Would dropping older compiler support include ESR alongside
mozilla-central? I assumed dropping an older compiler after ESR forks
meant Rel Eng would need to maintain an extra toolchain for another
year. And, though unlikely, fixes uplifted to ESR couldn't use any newer
C++ features not supported by the old compilers.
