Debian Stable uses 4.9.2, which seems to support the majority of C++11 
features.  Fedora doesn't have anything like an LTS release, and I 
really don't think we should spend time supporting old versions when 
they don't have any sort of designated "extra-stable" release - why 
can't Fedora users just upgrade? It's not like they have to pay for 
upgrades.

I don't think I've ever met a Fedora user intentionally using an old 
version.

It seems Ubuntu is the only one left, and the new LTS is coming out soon.

I know you're tired of hearing the C++11 question, but perhaps when the 
new LTS comes out, presumably in April, it really will be time to start 
looking at that seriously?
