While I don't know who proposed C++11 or where, I'd therefore like to propose to move to _at least_ C++14.
What benefits does this have for Python development?
Likewise I can ask what benefits choosing C++11 would have? In general, I think standards and compilers need version hygiene like anything else, just with a larger lag. But even in the standard things get deprecated occasionally, and more importantly: new warnings may get issued, and being able to include CPython into C++ warning-free was one of the points that Victor mentioned specifically.
