Fair enough. Once Ubuntu 16.04 hits, we'll have gcc >= 4.9 on all platforms we target, meaning this entire page will be filled in: https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/C11Status
I know you're tired of hearing it, so I'll drop it - though my personal view is that it brings a number of features we could make good use of to write cleaner and safer code, and we could benefit from it fairly significantly. I definitely understand the hesitance to make a change that blocks out platforms older than $X, though, particularly when $X is not vastly far in the past.
