Yea, there's really no two ways around it: Ultimately, each new compiler 
release will need to get added to .travis.yml (or any other CI's 
equivalent) either sooner or later. (Unless the project eschews anything 
beyond "latest versions ONLY", but that comes with its own downsides, 
especially for libraries.)

Luckily, this is definitely automatable, at least as far as 
auto-submitted PRs, if nothing else. The devil is just in the details.
