+1, that's exactly the reason why I skipped 98.  C++98 is 21 years old now (or 
16 if you count from C++03).  Most projects that build with a modern toolchain 
and care about code quality enough to run static analysis tools have migrated 
to C++11.  Many ClangTidy checkers have not even been tested *ever* on 98, many 
(`modernize-*`) don't apply in 98.

We wouldn't refuse patches to annotate tests with C++98 support or fix bugs in 
C++98 mode, but I believe as far as ClangTidy is concerned C++98 is a niche use 
case, so I personally find it difficult to justify spending my time on it.
