+1 from me.

nullptr is another one that can be made to work even on older compilers with some #define glue.

Instead of creating a 'VTK_OVERRIDE', we could also use 'override' as if we required C++11 and "#define override /* nothing */" as appropriate.  Then when C++11 really is the minimun requirement no big find/replace is required.  Just a thought.

PS: I already have dashboards building as C++11 and C++14.

Cheers,
