As others have said, we are definitely eager to use C++11 across the board but are limited by compiler support requirements. One thing that it would be useful to know: what are the compilers and minimum required versions used for in-tree ports? Perhaps we could record this so we can regularly evaluate which features are safe to use and what the blockers are to wholesale adoption, if any. Regards, Maciej
