Debian Stable uses 4.9.2, which seems to support the majority of C++11 features. Fedora doesn't have anything like an LTS release, and I really don't think we should spend time supporting old versions when they don't have any sort of designated "extra-stable" release - why can't Fedora users just upgrade? It's not like they have to pay for upgrades.
I don't think I've ever met a Fedora user intentionally using an old version. It seems Ubuntu is the only one left, and the new LTS is coming out soon. I know you're tired of hearing the C++11 question, but perhaps when the new LTS comes out, presumably in April, it really will be time to start looking at that seriously?
