Let's get this checked in today. We'll start a discussion on LLVM dev when anything *actually* changes, so nobody needs to panic just yet.

What makes you say this is being rushed? I agree your participation to the discussion is new, but consider that the RFC was *months* ago (and wasn't the first or second time it was discussed), and so was the LLVM developer meeting discussion. There's agreement that we'll move away from C++11, soon. We'd be irresponsible if we didn't tell developers who build LLVM. That's the only thing the patch does: tell people what we've agreed to do (admittedly we don't have a fixed timeline because we're waiting on significant contributors being ready to move, but there's agreement nonetheless, tentatively end of 2019 Q1).
