I'm not even a bit player in this but...
This will put off anybody using EL7 or its derivatives because there are
ABI and library changes and no easy way to get GCC 5 installed using the
"usual" repositories (i.e., Base and EPEL). Fedora has already made the
jump, but those changes aren't going to be in the stable distro picture
until EL8 happens. Whether that makes EL7 outdated would, of course, be
up for discussion.
If EL8 drags out beyond production DT having the GCC 5 requirement, EL
users running the latest available won't have a way to use it other than
a VM with a distro that supports it. I've done that a couple of times
out of necessity, but I/O is sluggish enough that I'd prefer not to.
