Meanwhile, not all compiler vendors will have made the jump to the new standard, so we are left in the cleft stick of supporting C++03, or going with the new standard.
That seems like a good time to cut ties with old compilers (such as VC6 and Gcc 2.95) and focus on libraries appropriate for the new language.
I think dropping support for some compilers would constitute a major upgrade, regardless of any new features, functionality, etc.
Removing features should never constitute an upgrade. Jonathan
