I have a novel idea, let's drop C++03 support.

I fully support this idea. There is clearly a tradeoff here, but I think reduction of support surface for our release infrastructure outweighs users stuck on legacy compilers.

I am against making a major version bump for it. If we were adding module support, that would be one thing, but dropping C++03 support in 2023 isn't exactly a thing I'd be crazy about advertising given our current branding challenges.

Full agreement with David on these two points.

I second that too. Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net
