Also, C++ isn't a dictatorship the way Qt is. Anyone can object to any

generally try to be considerate of the community when making changes,
and there is quite a lot of emphasis on not breaking existing code, even
as far back as C++98.
How many C++ devs are on those? Likely only those whose companies are
paying them to be, and a few that got there via academics (I've
personally known and worked with one person; outside of the folks I've
seen here on the Qt lists.)
Well, when you sign up to build a DEB and a custom ISO for a client.
Both of which can be popped open on a server to have additional
marketing stuff dumped in you don't have to.
When said client wants the DEB to install on Ubuntu 12, 13, 14, 15, 16;
both 32 and 64-bit I can tell you now that, after hundreds of
experimental builds, C++98 on Ubuntu 15 is what you will use to create
the 32-bit executable, then you will stuff all of the libraries into the
DEB because you are straddling an ABI change as well as the systemd debacle
