We are also considering, with Samuel, a less revolutionary approach: deprecate specific compiler/version in case it does not support certain C++11 features properly or suffers from bugs. For example, we may advertise dropping GCC 5 support due to issues similar to this https://github.com/boostorg/gil/pull/526
If you drop GCC 5, you can make the minimum requirement C++14, as it's the default for GCC 6 and newer. (C++17 is default for GCC 11.)
Sounds fine too. I'll pass it to Samuel. Thanks. -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net
