Yeah, I think that's the only feasible answer at this point.
Maybe a month or two back we could have done differently,
but there's not a lot of runway now.
Once we do drop src/tools/msvc from HEAD, we should make a point
of reminding -packagers about it, in hopes that they'll work on
the transition sooner than next May.
