Although this means C++14, how many of us believe it will correctly compile against the C++14 standard without the /std:c++14 option present?

Are you implying the std used, when not set, is randomized? That would indeed be entertaining. Oh, based on how things change between dot releases (e.g. 15.5, 15.6, 15.7, ...), it certainly feels like that... ;)

More importantly though, the VS 15.8.x standard headers use more C++17 features than 15.7.x. The way the VS team writes about upcoming 15.9.x, you can easily interpret the dot nine release will be the "crowning achievement." Please see my other response for details.
