Well, as GDC is supporting the last C++ release, the only next logical
step would be to get bootstrapping from 2.068 to 2.071 or whatever
version of the frontend has sufficiently ironed out all compatibility
regressions.

This means that backporting compiler fixes and the standard library
from upstream is acceptably on the cards.  It's just that the
feature-set will remain the same as 2.068.

As per the wiki, if you use GDC then there's nothing for you to do.
