The opening mail proposed C++11 without rationale or references. I did search
the archives and discourse before, but nothing stood out, and I don't think an
encyclopedic knowledge of past python-dev discussions is a reasonable
requirement to comment or propose a variation on its merits.

I find this tone quite out-of-place. I made a proposal (based on compiler 
support,
version hygiene and compatibility with newer standards), and I'd have been more
than happy to hear arguments (like Antoine's) or references for the merits of
preferring C++11 (though, again, the point became moot since Victor correctly
pointed out we can test against several versions).

Still, the insinuation (as it arrives on my end) that I shouldn't participate
seems really unnecessary.

Best,
H.
