Any objections to making C++14 the current baseline for Boost support and testing?

Pursuant of discussion elsewhere:

Does anyone have any concrete objections to Boost moving to a C++14 
baseline?

This would mean:

* Library authors can drop and remove all support for pre-C++14 
compilers after a suitable deprecation notice in place for say 3 releases.

* The community maintenance team can likewise drop pre-C++14 support 
from community maintained / orphan libaries.

* CI tests no longer need report pre-C++14 results.

* From the next release onward, the boost super-project should clearly 
announce in our release notes, that C++11 and earlier support may no 
longer be available from the start of 2023.

Thoughts?

Thanks, John Maddock.
