I guess your impression agrees with Marcus - that probably everything
we would use soon is fine and we can target anything supported by GCC
4.7.x.
As far as important Debian/Ubuntu releases are concerned, yes, (if 4.7
really implements all the features), RHEL/CentOS/SL 6 might be an
important target as well (or not, dunno), and AFAIK it only ships GCC
4.4 (but might have some C++ features backpatched).
Closing the loop on this, I feel pretty comfortable in bumping this. I
think tagging before making a hard dependency on C++11 features would
be good in case people wanted that, but see no reason not to start
using modern C++ functionality.
Compiler support seems reasonable, building new compilers on older
machines is also possible, I know Ubuntu 12.04 still has a few years
of support left and that may present some issues but there is already
a new LTS people can move to (I think they get five years).
