The Elemental interface has changed, so PETSc would have to absorb the compatibility if we want to support Elemental with older compilers. And presumably you don't want to field bug reports and support mail for the old version of the library. You made a choice that has some costs and some benefits. People _can_ upgrade compilers, and if they want to use Elemental, they'll have to.
