I probably joined this mailing list thread a bit too late for anyone
to pay attention. But I asked about this on #gcc channel and they told
me that c++11 is officially supported in gcc5, but the manual is
outdated. But well, that's IRC - there are no official logs containing
my question, no pics, it didn't happen. I can only paste a fragment
from the channel (where "jakub" is Jakub Jelínek, one of gcc
maintainers):

Irfy: he feels the support is still too experimental and not yet
real-world tested enough
krnowak: Irfy: Documentation is still saying that c++11 is
experimental in gcc 5.1.
Irfy: really? i thought i came across the wording "full support for
c++11" in the release notes?
Irfy: https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-5/changes.html but under 'Runtime
Library (libstdc++)"
krnowak: Irfy: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-5.1.0/gcc/Standards.html#Standards
and to go point 2.2 (C++ language).
krnowak: It's probably outdated, dunno.
krnowak: As it doesn't mention C++14 at all.
jakub: c++11 is not experimental in gcc 5.1, indeed, that Standards
section of the docs is outdated
