I propose to bump the required compiler versions across the board to compilers that fully 100% implement C++11. It is 2014 and C++14 is finalised. And we are a Free Software project and none of our compilers have any problems with that. 

In more general terms, the benefits we can gain from fully utilising our excellent programming language outweigh by far the potential fringe utility of gaining 0.5% users of non-free outdated compilers. 

Cheers, 

Mirko.
