Hi Brandon, I agree with Andreas. It seems to me that it is a little too soon to require GCC 6.1. Until we're confident most people's IT infrastructure is using more recent Linuxes, it's going to be hard to go beyond C++11.
Do you have any suggestions on how to make it simple for all of our users to get a hold of current GCC versions? I know Docker solves this problem, but many of us have systems that we don't have sudo privileges on. Additionally, many compute clusters are even further behind than our workstations in terms of Linux versions. Our cluster is still running RHEL6.
