Bumping to GCC6 has a tracking bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1444274 This would give us general c++14 capability.
The only blocker I know of is updating Sixgill's (hazard analysis?) GCC version: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1444543 If there are no other blockers, upgrading our GCC required version may follow relatively quickly.
