Y'all know *my* thoughts on the matter. >:) Which systems still require a
non-C++11 compiler anyway? We don't even have to support Geriatric Giraffe
anymore, there's a new LTS out... Debian supports C++11, Fedora supports C++11,
we've got no problem building with it on Windows, OS X... So which elderly
platforms could we possibly still be propping up at this point?

Of course a few users won't like it, you can never make any change without
ticking off a user or two. https://xkcd.com/1172/ comes to mind. But is
supporting them worth the trouble?

Seriously, come on - we *already* decided it wasn't, you already said we can
switch to C++11. Then a bit over a month ago, we asked and you said we should
be able to start making use of C++11 features in about a month or so. Is the
C++11 cake a lie? ;)
