Hi all,

I would like to probe users/developers about the possibility to
deprecate compiler toolchains and drop support for those.

The toolchains I have in mind are:
 - GCC 4.6.x
 - Intel Compiler version 13
 - Intel Compilers with GCC 4.4.x as "base"

Rationale: We see more and compile errors only happening on those
toolchains as we continue to evolve our codebase towards more usage of
C++11. The continuous adaption of more and more C++11 is significantly
simplifying and improving our codebase.
Workarounds for those compilers become necessary which are sometimes
very time consuming and may even introduce slower code paths (for
example unique_ptr vs. shared_ptr).

Are there any objections? Does anybody absolutely rely on those toolchains?

Best regards,
Thomas
