I have my doubts the c++17 will happen during v6 development but there
is an outside chance it could happen.  Please keep in mind that there
are users who run older stable versions of linux that don't want to risk
using the latest compilers.  I want to keep kicad to build on the
largest possible set of platforms.

Cheers,

Wayne
