I suspect there are some people who will not want to see older C++
versions become completely unsupported.

As described in my earlier email, "support" for C++11 should probably
mean that we try to build every commit with a C++11 compiler and run the
unit tests in CI.

Can you suggest any compiler flags to specifically deal with those
deprecation warnings while still letting us see other warnings?

On a related topic, I'd also like to see us move the the stdint types at
some point and there is a branch for experimenting with that and some
previous discussion about it on the dev list but we are not quite there yet.
