Not moot, because VC6 was the last release that avoids "side by
side assembly hell", and the need to provide all the installables
that are needed for latter VC++ releases.

[And yes, SxS hell is real - I experienced it recently with a new
  copy of Nero burning software. Neither the Nero install nor
  any of Microsofts updates would fix it. It took some manual
  poking about in SxS to get Nero running again, and I certainly wouldn't
  want to put my users through that sort of thing.]
