Personally, I'm OK with anything up to C++20.  Upgrading my codebase to 
C++20 was difficult, but it's done now, and I won't be going back.

On a more philosophical note, I'd rather see a new library drop C++11 
support before it is released than 20 years after it is released. 
Dropping support will prevent some projects from using the library, but 
it won't break any existing code because that code does not exist yet. 
Dropping support later *will* break existing code at that point, even if 
the C++ standard being dropped is 33 years old at that point.
