+          <p>
+            Historically, Spirit supported a lot of compilers, including (to some
+            extent) poorly conforming compilers such as VC6. Spirit v1.6.x will be
+            the last release that will support older poorly conforming compilers.
+            Starting from Spirit v1.8.0, ill conforming compilers will not be       
+            supported. If you are still using one of these older compilers, you can
+            still use Spirit v1.6.x.
+          </p>
+
+          <p>
+            The reason why Spirit v1.6.x worked on old non-conforming compilers is
+            that the authors laboriously took the trouble of searching for
+            workarounds to make these compilers happy. The process takes a lot of
+            time and energy, especially when one encounters the dreaded ICE or
+            "Internal Compiler Error". Sometimes searching for a single workaround
+            takes days or even weeks. Sometimes, there are no known workarounds. This
+            stifles progress a lot. And, as the library gets more progressive and
+            takes on more advanced C++ techniques, the difficulty is escalated to
+            even new heights.
+          </p>
+
+          <p>           
+            Spirit v1.6.x will still be supported. Maintenance and bug fixes will
+            still be applied. There will still be active development for the back-
+            porting of new features introduced in Spirit v1.8.0 (and Spirit 1.9.0)
+            to lesser able compilers; hopefully, fueled by contributions from the
+            community. For instance, there is already a working AST tree back-port
+            for VC6 and VC7 by Peder Holt.
