IMO, it makes very little sense to require the bleeding edge, or thereabouts. I still use GCC 3.4 on one of my main development machines; the other one was upgraded to 4.7.2 a few months ago, and I'm still lamenting the two-fold increase in build times that this caused. As another data point, the GNU shell server fencepost.gnu.org, a Trisquel system, offers GCC 4.4.3. > gcc 4.8.1 is the first fully-compliant C++11 release. So what? Why do we need this full compliance is the important part.
