If moving to C++11 - Isn't that considered just part of the work along 
the path? There's some clang tools to help with the migration, but I 
don't think anyone expects it to be zero work. The flag is just a way to 
a) enable building programs that can be built with c++11 b) flush out 
the culprits in the cases it can't be. If (b) is a bug - how else to 
find it easily?
