Portability is one of the main areas where we are well beyond our competition.
I would say that nearly half of the cluster installations we do
are using compilers that are at least 4 to 5 years old. We can't afford to tell everyone
"you need to upgrade your compiler" as many of these
people are locked into some ancient Redhat and changing that is nontrivial.
Anyone stuck in this situation should know that installing and using a
new gcc is easier than it used to be... assuming you have a gigabyte
or more to devote to it. Since that isn't always a safe assumption,
this is a pretty good argument for sticking with C++03 for a while.
Also, another suggestion: MOOSE is going open source soon (really!)
and it's going up on GitHub as well. Is now the time to start
looking into the development model/process for libMesh (and MOOSE).
ie codifying a set of branches (like devel/stable/master) and
putting together a plan for testing everything, etc?
Definitely time to start brainstorming, at least.
