Hi all,

I ran into a surprising (to me) limitation when working on an issue [1].  To 
summarize, supporting the manylinux1 standard ties Arrow development to gcc 
4.8.x which is technically not C++11 complete.  This brought on few questions 
for me:

* What are the pre-conditions for dropping manylinux1 / gcc 4.8.x?  I found an 
open task to remove support altogether [2] .
* What is needed to move to C++ 14?
* Would either of these changes normally require a PMC-driven vote?

I realize these are broad questions but I'm curious to hear thoughts or 
additional background requirements that I failed to find easily.

Many thanks,

Hatem
