I'm willing to be more aggressive and drop it for all VS >= 7.1:

 http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=cd739794

This was even requested 8 years ago:

 http://www.cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2004-June/005188.html

but nothing ever happened.  Even VS 7.1 docs suggest not using it:

It is easy for people to add it in their local builds if needed.

Thanks,
