My gut reaction to Catalin's list is that requiring C+11 is a pretty
darn high bar to clear for older platforms.

It's only for latest version and we can support version 3.9 with C++98 I think at least 5 years. 
3.9.6 was realease in November 10, 2017 .

That's a pretty big shift from the project's traditional
mindset.

Sure, but I think time to time it should be happen.  

But to me it's a significant minus that we'd have to set against whatever
pluses are claimed for a move.

It's obvious minuses but I still can't understand your position on this question.
