It may take some effort to introduce all the C++11 features being 
discussed here.  Getting rid of things that don't work in C++11, well, 
that's somethingg we'll have to do anyway.  But factoring or 
refactoring in new C++11 features is probably going to cost us more 
time than it saves.  Unless, of course, there are serious plans to 
introduce major new facilities into monotone where the improved clarity 
of the code will benefit us.

The way we're talking, it almost seems the C++11 is itself a new 
platform.
