This is OK, although the set of changes for the libstdc++ manual like
this gave me pause:

IIUC the statements being modified here are incorrect; since the
manuals are packaged with the GCC sources, they go in lock step with
the source version, and the text of the manual describes the GCC
version being built, not mainline. Perhaps the libstdc++
documentation maintainers would like to correct this separately?
I did so on the gcc-7 branch, so it says "This page describes the
C++11 support in the GCC 7 series." I have forgotten to do that on the
gcc-8 and gcc-9 branches though, so they lie. I'll do that.
For similar reasons, I suggest backporting this patch to all active
GCC release branches, namely GCC 8 and GCC 9, so that manuals packaged
with upcoming releases from those branches will correctly point to the
GIT repository instead of SVN.
Agreed.
