I suspect this may come down to the review ultimately: I can imagine that 
any library that was C++11 only would have a hard time getting through 
review "as is", *unless* there's a really compelling reason for it to be 
that way (and for some libraries that may well be the case).  However, I can 
also imagine a library being developed as a C++11 only lib and only ported 
back to C++03 and/or less capable compilers once it's stable (or vice 
versa).
