For applications, it's 100% up to the application developer. I'm sure it wouldn't be nice if Kate now used C++14 features. However, if you are an application developer of an application that is kind of "optional", then it's you who decides, imho. Worst case is, that some distributions won't ship your app, but I'd consider that already unlikely, since distributions build their stuff with fairly recent compilers. Greetings, Dominik
