We welcome C++14 libraries and I see no problem with a submission on that basis alone if it is supported by at least two compilers.
For me personally, I would vote for an instant rejection for any library not compilable to the MSVC ABI irrespective of any other factors.
FYI a review is not a vote. Acceptance/Rejection is not a democratic process. The review manager has the authority to accept/reject based on his assessment of the quality of the library independent of the number of "votes" it receives. Long standing boost policy is that there is no explicit requirement that any code conform to any specific compiler as long as it complies with the current standard. There is no requirement that it use specific features (e.g. from more recent standards) to the exclusion of more traditional (albeit still conforming) features. Indeed, a number of libraries have been submitted and accepted that don't compile on multiple compilers.
