I think, SOCI must compile with latest compilers and ideally if it can be compiled cleanly in C++11 mode. It means, I'm personally in favour of any changes that 1) correct C++11 mode compilation and 2) does not break C++03 compilation. There seem to be consensus among SOCI users and developers, that we don't aim to port SOCI to use the new C++11 features and break C++03 compatibility. Certainly, if it some changes would be beneficial (i.e. move support), they can be introduce as conditionally compiled (like in Boost)/ If you're willing to submit any patches, please use GitHub pull request mechanism.
