Feel free to use it at $work; when developing commercial self-contained
and self-sufficient, not-to-be-recompiled, etc. software.  Doing things
in open-source? then stay away from c++11 and above, do the world a favor.

Dmitry, C++ sucks; we might not have anything better than it right now,
but it does not change the fact that it's a horrible language to "get it
right", and endless compatibility issues virtually *everyone* is having
with it speak for itself.

So no, C++11 should *not* be absolutely used now; not in ported software
that is supposed to be built and run across several versions of FreeBSD,
GNU/Linux, Windows, Haiku, etc.
