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?

That is the crucial question. Apparently there are still a lot of
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS users out there so leaving them out in the cold does
not seem like a good option at the moment. There may be other distros
(Debian Stable, Fedora 6?) that may also fall under this heading. I
prefer to move cautiously when it comes to moving to C++11.

Purely out of curiosity, are we still supporting any systems /other/
than Ubuntu Geriatric Giraffe that don't support C++11?

Just read this the other day and figured it would be good to discuss before
it happens.
GCC is going to be defaulting to C++14 for compiler flags when GCC 6 is
released in ~6 months. I browsed the CMakeLists.txt in the root directory
and didn't see anything about setting a standard. Nowish would be a good
time to pick a C++ standard and put it in there.
I know Wayne has mentioned in the recent past the wish to not switch to
C++11 yet[1] which I understand. FWIW when the next Ubuntu LTS is released
in 3 months the gcc provided will have C++11 out of experimental. Just food
for thought.
