I think C++11 will be OK, when we removed them we hadn't decided to
make C++11 a hard requirement. I think we have good agreement now, but
I need to update the dependencies for Windows at least to build with a
more recent Visual Studio with C++11 support, several of the current
dependencies do not build.

I don't think it is, personally I would rather see Python support over
QML, but see value in both. I think we are reasonably open to looking
at different proposals in this area.

Two questions came up (Python binding project).

1. Is it ok to relay on C++11 compiler? A search showed that
there was this discussion before and it was decided that it is ok
to rely on the presence of C++11 compiler. But in the same time
I saw some recent commits specifically removing reliance on C++11
features (e.g., auto).

2. Is tight integration with QML a strict requirement for the
chosen solution? As far as I can see QML is not used in the
current codebase. I'm interested in a solution which currently
doesn't have QML support (might get added sometime later).
