Timothy St. Clair commented on MESOS-750:
-----------------------------------------

This is more of a policy question, so I'll try to wear my diplomatic hat.  

Typically for something of this magnitude we would send an email to -devel 
soliciting feedback.  Give it enough time so that it is a shock to very few 
parties, and still have it default to off until a timeout (x months) expires.  
At that point, enable it during the beginning of a new development cycle, thus 
giving developers ample time to absorb the changes.  

> Require compilers that support c++11

> Requiring C++11 support will provide substantial benefits to Mesos.
> Most notably, the lack of lambda support has resulted in a proliferation of 
> continuation style functions scattered throughout the code. Having lambdas 
> will allow us to reduce this clutter and simplify the code.
> This will require carefully documenting how to get Mesos compiling on various 
> systems to make this transition easy.
