That should be technically possible, but for what it's worth the reason it's not common is that it would require two extensions... 2010-2015 could use the same one, or 2012-2017 could use the same one, but 2010-2017 would require two.

As a workaround, could you use a newer IDE with 2010 projects? You should be able to throw a \<VCProjectUpgraderObjectName>NoUpgrade\</VCProjectUpgraderObjectName> in your project files or in a property sheet to keep the new IDE from trying to upgrade your projects.

Then I think you can just use a new IDE and keep compiling with 2010 (as long as 2010 is still installed). We do this where I work, I use 2017 as my IDE but everything builds with 2013.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this issue. We decided against maintaining two different versions of the plugin. So I'll close this now.
