Make VS2015 default build image.
Now that VS2015 is officially released, it would be nice to see it be the default worker image so those of us using it don't have to wait for the startup delay.
I'm referring to this mentioned
here:
"Please note builds using this image run on Azure environment which
means there is a few minutes delay before build starts required to
provision build worker VM."

Apparently, according to http://www.appveyor.com/updates/2015/07/21 I just need to request to be moved to the new 2015 VMs. Is this message good enough or is there some formal process?

We've finally managed to run
Visual Studio 2015
image on Pro environment.If you are on a paid plan use
Visual Studio 2015
image ("OS" setting on Environment tab of project settings oros: Visual Studio 2015
inappveyor.yml
).It still takes around 40-50 seconds before build starts - this is the time required to boot up build worker VM with Visual Studio 2015 image. But everything is going on Pro environment and build start time is quite predictable there. We hope it's acceptable trade-off between performance and convenience.

What is the timetable to moving to VS2015 as the default image so I no longer have to put
os: Visual Studio 2015
in my appveyor.yml and so I can use a pooled worker image (thus avoiding startup times if I understand correctly)?Presumably, within 10 years the default image will no longer be VS2013 on Server 2012... I'm just curious whether it is going to happen in a week, a month, a year, etc.
