+1 as well! 😃

It appears too much work to keep supporting such an old compiler at the master branch. Certainly here at [LKEB/Leiden University Medical Center](https://lkeb.lumc.nl/), we do not need VS2017 support anymore, for upcoming ITK versions.

I already suggested dropping VS2017 a year ago, [Drop support for Visual Studio 2017?](https://discourse.itk.org/t/drop-support-for-visual-studio-2017/4944) but now we have an extra reason!
