When a user compiles her own Python binary she is most probably experienced enough to notice the difference. We can't hold the hand of every user who strolls off the official path. New features was one of reasons for the migration to VS 2008. Legacy support shouldn't stop us from introducing new features. So yes, it's permitted to build Python with old compilers but users must not expect full support of all features.
