I don't have a problem with the C11 default, because the language impact is minimal. That's quite different from C++ though and I am very reluctant to update the default language even to C++11. There is a lot of code in the wild that doesn't compile anymore due to stupid changes like user-defined string literals or the narrowing (warning) changes. Even worse are the nothrow changes for destructors, which silently break valid C++03 code.
