Yes, IMO.
Whether or not we're "locked" in any technical sense, I think we should
probably lock ourselves there by policy, unless a specific bug in the
older compiler is directly affecting ESR builds in a serious way, and
can only be solved by updating.
Short of something like that (which seems pretty unlikely!), the
stability risk involved in switching compilers doesn't sound like it
belongs anywhere near the ESR world.
