Also, since we went to C++11 a while ago, we already had to give up on the CentOS6 native tool chain (so, for the last year or so, we’ve already required Devtoolset to be used). This change would force us to update to devtoolset-7 on RHEL platforms, and might make some older debian platforms impossible to support in any reasonable way (which I’m ok with). I plan on writing some instructions for getting toolchains setup for the platforms where it is possible. +1 from me btw. Cheers, — Leif
