No.

I suspect this may come down to the review ultimately: I can imagine that any library that was C++11 only would have a hard time getting through review "as is", *unless* there's a really compelling reason for it to be that way (and for some libraries that may well be the case). However, I can also imagine a library being developed as a C++11 only lib and only ported back to C++03 and/or less capable compilers once it's stable (or vice versa). John.
