Except:

- You still need to know C and C++98 to deal with old codebases and 
compiler errors;

- Not everyone can use C++11 and C++14, either due to company policy or 
set of available compilers

- It is 4 years time until 2017, plus the time compilers will need to 
adopt it, how relevant in the industry would that standard still be?

Good luck working in code bases of big companies.
