The unwritten policy is that whatever is mainstream is good. Sometimes there are some requirenents from poeple that use older platforms but I guess whoever is using VS does it on a more or less professional basis, hence 2019 is state of the art. 

If it's not for VS 2019 then maybe at least some more recent version?

All personal opinion, of course. Other people may have different views.

PS: I'm fine with it, if that is the question :-)

> Currently the builds still use Visual Studio 2015. Would it be time to deprecate 2015 and move to Visual Studio 2019? Supposedly AppVeyor already supports VS2019 (https://www.appveyor.com/updates/ lists #3379 Visual Studio 2019 version 16.5.4).
> Or is there a reason / policy that suggests specific versions to keep? Anyone still requiring VS2015?
