I’m not entirely opposed to that actually. There are already many ports that don’t work on older systems, for various reasons. Requiring C++11 may well be another valid reason for a port requiring a newer OS.

Mavericks is a free update, supports the same hardware as Mountain Lion, and is a better OS than Mountain Lion. We should continue fixing our ports to work on Mavericks and encourage users to upgrade.
