Dominic Hamon commented on MESOS-750:
-------------------------------------
Having thought a bit more, here's my proposal for how to proceed:
1. determine the feature set we want from C++11
2. add those features to the configure template to determine if they are
supported by various compilers
3. determine the minimum spec for compiler/os we can support
I think this keeps the focus in the right place in terms of getting what we
want from C++11 while still maintaining support for older compilers where
possible.

> 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.
