Re: [boost] C++03 / C++11 compatibility question for compiled libraries

Isn't it time to require C++11 to avoid spending / wasting time on these issues?

+1 Upgrading one’s compiler to adopt the current standard is free and riskless. In the same way that someone building a modern army would not choose to equip his soldiers with swords and pikes, no sane project leader would choose to use c++03 in favour of c++17 today. New libraries should not pander to obsolete coding practices at all. People must simply keep up, otherwise we’re all stuck in the dark ages.
