I support this. I'm currently facing the problem that at some point we might 
want kwayland to become a framework to be able to be used in 
kwindowsystem. But the compiler requirements would not allow it, although it 
doesn't make any sense for the case of kwayland (nobody is going to use that 
on Windows).

So in stead of adding one exception after the other, just go the full way and 
raise the requirement.

The fact that we don't have a CI to test it just shows even more that we need 
to raise the minimum requirement.
