I agree. In WebKit2 we have much more freedom to do C++11 experimentation, both due to not having to think about Windows but also due to the fact that WebKit2 is about one fifth the size of WebCore when it comes to number of lines of code. When we come up with successful C++11 design patterns and idioms in WebKit2, we can apply them to WebCore when the time is ready. (One thing I’m playing with in WebKit2 is to stop using PassOwnPtr and just using std::move instead). - Anders
