We do have some interest in keeping WebKit working for our downstream build, so if it's possible to make this change over to using C++11 in a way that can allow for building without the new features that would be ideal. If there is anything we can do that help make this happen let me know. I think the goal is to (at least initially) conditionalize the use of various C++11 idioms. But I think we will soon reach a critical mass where we will assume the compiler supports the newer language constructs. We're already using C++11 features conditionally in WebKit. The plan is to move forward and make some features a requirement. Patrick, given the broad support for this proposal from other ports/contributors we are going to ahead and move forward with it.
