Reason is historical. In time when CMakeLists.txt files were written
CMake 3.0 have not existed yet. Same for C++11.

About CMake 3.0 important question is: Is there any problem with
current CMakeLists.txt files that it is needed to rewrite them? Is not
CMake 3.0 backward compatible with CMake 2.x? Or what is reason for
rewriting them?

About C++11... I do not see problem to start using, but I dislike mixing
style of C++98 and C++11 in one class/component. So for new code it is
OK. But adding C++11 constructs into random places in C++98 files is
bad.

Montel should know more about KF5 port.
