I fully support this idea. There is clearly a tradeoff here, but I think
reduction of support surface for our release infrastructure outweighs users
stuck on legacy compilers.

I am against making a major version bump for it. If we were adding module
support, that would be one thing, but dropping C++03 support in 2023 isn't
exactly a thing I'd be crazy about advertising given our current branding
challenges.
