Comment (by vbraun):

 I disagree. Holding back on allowing C++11 just means
 * taking on more technical debt as authors can't take advantage of the new
 features, writing code that may have to be changed later
 * prevent contributors from being exposed to new C++11 features, slowing
 down their learning
 * online C++ resources increasingly include C++11 features, making it even
 more difficult to learn how to not use them
 * delaying the inevitable, we'll have to shitlist broken compilers anyways
