After reading this I'm left with the feeling that the author is complaining more about "enterprise" linux distros that never ever change (hello, many centos users who are still running distros that require python2.7!) than about changes to the C++ standard. And for what it's worth, I agree that I'm always frustrated by such things, but it's not clear this is something we should blame on attempts to keep C++ modern.
