Off the cuff I believe there's already plenty of native C++11 in Boost, but under #ifdef control with as much alternative backward support as possible. The discussion points are usually around how much and how best to provide backward compatibility
and how much is possible and practical. - Rob.
If that is what coders are doing, it sounds pretty complicated. Multiple #ifdef blocks of code that do the same thing, and combinations of code to build and test, and hope that it still all works when shipped. It could become #ifdef hell. Sounds like it's not really worth the effort and simply just stick to the old style. -Sid
