I would argue against it. 5 years ago the standard was released,
but when did all the major compilers fully support it? How long did
it take to become available in all relevant operating systems and
Linux distributions?

Also, compatibility with slightly outdated systems is nice to have.
But that's my philosophy personally.
I bump versions only if I have a very good reason.

Best regards,
