onwards
True. But let's discuss separately QNX 6.6 and MSVC 2013. My proposal was about
QNX 6.6 specifically. Let's make sure that gets discussed even though MSVC 2013
might be a mere interesting topic for many :)
We have discussed about MSVC 2013 earlier and then some more time was desired
before deciding. Perhaps enough time has passed now to open the discussion
again. I do agree that complete C++11 support in all compilers is a tempting
idea.
Yours,
Tuukka

If we also remove MSVC 2013, only compilers with complete C++11 support on both
core language
and library side will remain in CI.
